*SOLD* Original oil painting on cradled birchwood. Inspired by the endless varieties of agates, Between the Whispered Word and the Waiting Heart is a joyous expression of the anticipation of love and dreams coming true. Elemental Art - Geomorphic Abstractions Series
The Geomorphic Abstractions series is about the importance of digging deeper and seeing beyond the superficial. The beautiful minerals that inspire my work are often hidden deep within a matrix of dull grey stone, and it isn’t until what’s inside is revealed that their true beauty shows. My work strives to express the inward significance of our true selves. Human beings are visual creatures, and it is in our nature to make judgments based on outward appearances. The matrix of stone on the outside of a geode may be drab and uninteresting, just a rock that looks like thousands of others around it, but when the treasure inside is exposed and polished, the dazzling results are breathtaking and priceless. The dull exterior of a geode rock had become a metaphor for my life and art. By breaking free and escaping the matrix, my true colors and artistry are able to shine.
