Artist
About
I have always been a creative. After 40 years as a psychotherapist, I have redirected that creativity to the practice of art. I have rewired
from an intense thinking process to an intense non-thinking one. Psychotherapy and art are both cerebral and intuitive. Each requires one to move back and forth between thinking and flow states. The difference is that in psychotherapy, thinking is front and center and constant. With art it is the opposite - - flow dominates.
I paint mostly on wood, building up layers of paint, which allows me to sand and scrape as I search for the design which resonates as true and authentic for me. I am an excavator, an explorer. I want to discover what is underneath the layers. My painting is that process of excavation, just as psychotherapy was. Now I excavate the layers of paint that I have placed on the panel.
My wish is for you to have an experience of depth, for that reflects who you are, who I am, who we all are.
