“I am the sand. I am the sea. I am the fish. I am night. I am day. I am sun. I am moon. I am all of these, as a single flower blooming across the waves of infinity, becoming everything that has ever existed, and back again.”

BALANCE WINGS - Interactive

14ft W (427cm) / 2 paintings - 6ft H (183cm) x 7ft W (213cm) x 1.5in (4cm) depth

Raw linen canvas with acrylic and spray paint

Two 5ft x 7ft (totaling 14ft when placed together). The paintings are interactive and designed to be inclusive, so people of different statures, ages and those in wheelchairs are able to stand or sit in front for a photo opportunity. The paintings can be placed together if displaying in a residence.

The idea of Balance Paintings brings awareness that there are both light and shadow parts of who we are, as individuals and as a society. Acknowledging this by facing those pieces that we (all) carry and the opportunity we have to reflect and see our part is necessary to appreciate the true connection and light that lives within us. Once we grow to discover the affect of our choices on the greater whole, we have the potential to become a positive influence in our lives and that of others.

THE VEIL

5ft H (152.4cm) x 4ft W (101.6cm) x 1” depth

Raw canvas with acrylic paint and spray paint in background.
”Our patterns and beliefs create an intricate web of thoughts, feelings and actions, aligning the pieces of our lives. Though at times we may feel like an actor in someone else’s play, we are in a sense, composing. With each decision we make influenced by past experience, we can continue in the same cycle or alter the course. Stepping outside of the ego creates a shift in perspective and a shift in perspective means a shift in destiny. It allows us to reflect an outer world based on the infinite power of our soul. Perhaps this doesn’t lift the veil, but awakening to it’s existence may be the very key to understanding purpose.”

Losing someone you love isn’t easy. Whether you are moving on from a relationship or letting go of a dear one that has passed, healing that part of your heart takes time and puts us in a place that can feel surreal compared to the everyday situations occurring around us. Be sure to allow yourself the time to heal, face what is there, so that part of you can be open to what awaits in the future.

”Our actions create our journey. Often we cycle through who we were yesterday, wishing for change, playing it “safe” with complacency. Flowing in the present is a confident connection, aligning us, as infinite possibilities take shape into a clear path. Surrendering to the unknown opens us to our highest potential, allowing the unnecessary layers to fall away. What could be becomes what is, only through a thought, decision, and finally, a step.”
