Timeless moments in the studio transforming my imagination to collaborate with my emotion and memory. I realize while I am painting I have the choice of trusting the true nature of my experience, freeing myself to the newness of each moment, constantly clearing away thoughts and fears that have obstructed the trust that the painting can paint itself. I find myself dissolving into the clear water and purity of paint flowing on to the paper. One stroke leads to the next. The act of painting comes out of the now. I must be fully present with an open heart and mind, open to all possibilities. This openness is not an absence of thought but a clear attentiveness to the moment. It is not by effort but by letting go that the painting becomes its essence. I feel the act of painting nourishes my soul and the completed painting nourishes the soul of others. I am truly thankful for the journey.
