Visual Art
My paintings arise from the same listening that shapes my writing and textile work — moments of lived experience taking form through color, mark, and symbol.
The Nature of My Paintings
Painting is often where something without language begins to take form.
Color, mark, and texture allow what is moving beneath the surface of a life to slowly become visible.
These works are not meant to explain.
They hold a moment of lived experience
so it can be felt.
What is lived in life eventually finds its way into form.

Soul Portraits
Occasionally the work takes the form of what I call a Soul Portrait.
These are not likenesses in the traditional sense. They arise through a process of listening — sensing what is alive within a person and allowing color, mark, and symbol to gather around it.
Each portrait becomes a visual reflection of something essential that is already present — a path toward remembering.

Each work is simply another way of listening.
The Work Continues in Other Forms
The paintings are one language of remembering.
The same listening also takes form through writing and textiles.
