2021 Dirty Zen
Capturing the Light. Calming the Chaos. Dirty Zen explores Buddhist mantras for meditation carved into multiple layers of texture made of iron-rich Utah dirt, salt from the Great Salt Lake, plaster, repurposed paint, metallic pigments and local newspaper.
Painting As Prayer. Layers of Intention. A series of paintings inspired by the pursuit of an evolved self and hopes for a more enlightened humanity. How do I make paintings that deeply align with my values? How do I express myself at my highest good and for the good of others? How can I go beyond thinking “We are one” to knowing this is true deep down in my soul? The answers to questions like these lie in having awareness. Knowing you have the choice to create a peaceful life for yourself—and the world.
We can't help it. We paint who you are. The canvas is your mirror. “As Within, So Without.”
