Stillness

Stillness and energy. These two words and concepts have slowly become rooted in my consciousness and in my painting. They are two sides of the same coin—one cannot exist without the other. On the surface, these paintings are intended to evoke a sense of calm and simplicity. Yet in stillness, we experience depth and mystery—a feeling I work to create with rich texturing and with many transparent layers.

“Stillness is the foundation of understanding and insight.”

- Thich Nhat Hanh
