Visual art serving visceral transmissions of existence.

The creative process is the closest thing I’ve ever known to birth

The baptism Sundays of my youth held particular sway in my romantic mind

Sinners entered the water and came out radiant in 

salvation 

A colorful portrait painting of a woman with brown and yellow hair, pink cheeks, and red lips, wearing a blue top against a green background.

Creative birth feels like that… the creative process feels like that ….

Expectancy and violence of a sunrise

There are moments in every creative process, and perhaps most clearly in paintings - when an energy in the painting begins to speak, and when this happens, I always feel the same darkness 

dread

Dread that my creative powers will be inadequate to provide for them the birth they deserve

(That) They need me to come from wherever they are coming and I won’t have the requisite courage to land them here.  Or that my interpretation won’t be true.

Eventually, this dark hollow falls in on itself.

Carrying not even the weight of gravity under its wing -
