As an artist I get to share my perception of the world, its vast and complex intricacy, its simple and elegant beauty. I am very lucky to call this my purpose.
In this series I have discovered that much of humanity shares these many and multi-layered views. We share hope, love or fear of the impending, as we gaze out onto the horizon. What's coming next? So many possibilities. When I see the sky touch the oceans “edge� I notice that this parallel moves with me as I walk along the shore.
When I discovered these hand made papers from around the world they helped me to create this wonderful imaginary line. Their varying textures and beauty, replicated a sense of what lays beneath the ocean's surface. Perfect. When I combine the jewel like quality of oil paint with them, the juxtaposition captures the distinctions as well as the similarities. Just what I'm after!
All of these endless combinations live in the here and now as well as on the horizon.
