Flourish in the Meadow of Life
Painting with My Heart
For fifty years I've painted with my heart. My heart speaks through my brush hand, heart to hand, transcribing my ekg in sync with earth spirit.
The heart's intelligence registers through colorful emotions we feel in the body, wavelengths of light, chakras. Painting feels like automatic writing, as if I'm taking dictation from the divine feminine. At first emotion, then the urge to draw the line with gritty willow charcoal through thick impasto strokes. It's here that the heartland meadow emerges, interwoven light and shadow, between the rise and fall peace arrives.
For fifty years, I followed the flow of emotions through landscapes. From the Appalachian Mountains, through streams, and marsh lands to the pond beside my studio near the Chesapeake Bay, I came into alignment with the watershed. Embodying the flow of water, I mapped the healing art terrain of our human-nature collaboration with my art.
