Exodus

Nothing compares to the highs and lows of mixed emotions experienced by migration. I can imagine the feelings are as overwhelming for bird, beast and human alike. Migrating from familiarity, family and friends to places open, unexplored and unknown brings newness to life and inspires in unimaginable ways. The feelings of doubt, longing and expectations continuously tumble through heart and mind, captivating the soul. Like Moses there comes a sobering moment, where clarity and security overwhelms all other fears, as you go on bended knee and declare , if you do not go with me, I shall not go. Exodus 33:14-16 NIV
[14] The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” [15] Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. [16] How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

There's something about the restrained excitement I experience when painting that keeps me coming back for more. To see a piece come together on canvas transcending from the here and now to the realms of forever .
Art tells stories, our stories. Where we've been, what we've seen, but most of all, it takes you into a moment, a feeling, a transcendence from my story to yours . I invite you through my art to step into a moment of time that reminds you of you.
I tell stories with a paintbrush, a feeling, a glimpse , a moment, now captured forever. Escape the harsh realities of our world and come meander with me to a quieter, more peaceful place.
I paint life as I experience it, always looking to escape ,even if its only for a moment. . I see the beauty of creation around me and want to stay there forever.
