Statement

Being (detail), acrylic and glass beads on canvas, 56″ x 40″

THE ANGEL IS IN THE DETAILS

I have always resonated with art that includes exploring the beautiful as part of its statement and have sought to affect the same in my own work. Over the last decade, however, the influence of my growing Reiki practice has shifted my art’s focus to that of healing intention ensconced in visual beauty.  

The most recent works are abstractions of the actual – bits of sunsets, icicle formations on rock, invasive tree blossoms. These are created using mixed media – acrylic paint stroked with a 10/0 brush, glass beads and tempered glass which I shatter before affixing atop areas of paint.

Layered, obscured Reiki symbols are infused in all my recent paintings; obscured so that their sacred nature is not revealed, but with the intention that the infusion of energy used in the application brings a sensation of peace and calm to the viewer.
