"Breaking Through"

There are paintings that flow easily and there are those that are a struggle from beginning to the end. I started this painting a couple years ago and put it aside. It just wasn't cooperating with me. So, I revisited it a few months ago and FINALLY I was able to complete it.

To me, this painting represents those times in life when we feel like we are in a rut. Something is not quite right and we know we have to change it. We have to break through that bubble that is confining us and keeping us from truly being happy. When I look at this painting I actually feel the liberation of bursting that bubble. Enjoy!

Artist Statement

I believe there is a cycle to life. Things happen for a reason and there is a spiritual interconnection and balance between all that exists. This philosophy is expressed in my artwork, both intellectually and technically through spontaneous and experimental processes.
By use of color and texture my artwork represents a world in which the subconscious meets the conscious and imagination becomes reality. Each stroke on the canvas leads to the next, each color complements or contrasts another, and the process continues until the space that I have manipulated makes sense to me.
