Once in a while, when conditions are just right, a moment of magic can occur. It’s a simple and yet extraordinary part of our lives. In this moment lies the spark of possibility and wonder.
With this series of paintings I explore ideas and feelings that crystallize the essence of a special experience. It may be a moment of stillness or meditation that connects you to something greater than yourself. It may be inexplicably beautiful music that touches you deeply, or a sudden insight or leap of the imagination.
