Framed original oil painting.I created Phoenix Rising when I discovered that the situations that I had perceived as holding me back - a creatively stifling day job and lack of studio space - were just that, only my perceptions. It is when we are at some of the lowest points in our lives that our strengths begin to show. A lifetime hobby, collecting beautiful rough gemstones and minerals, became my greatest inspiration, and I realized that my gray existence contained beautiful crystals inside, just like a geode. I needed to change my perceptions, and show what was in my soul. Phoenix Rising is an abstract expression of shattuckite, a rare copper silicate mineral from Arizona.

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.
