La danse du temps et de l'espace

9" x 12"

Acrylic on Art Board

This painting is SOLD.

This painting is incredibly detailed; writhing with numerous colors and various designs which symbolize the endless energy and flow of spirit and matter. My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. While working on paintings that are this detailed and colorful, I become so immersed in the work that applying paint becomes a meditative process through which I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.

This painting is SOLD.

This painting was inspired by my interest in folk art, especially the colorful art of tribal India. I love to immerse myself in the brightly colored, exquisitely detailed designs and patterns that can be found in Kutch embroidery and Mughal miniatures. This painting reflects the vividness of color and the undeniable exuberance that are the hallmarks of these types of traditional works. I created these patterns and color choices to reference the design qualities of Indian art while bringing the essence to a modern, contemporary audience through the medium of abstract art.

The Mystery of Meaning

8" x 10"

Ink on 140lb Paper

This drawing is SOLD.

The theme of this highly charged drawing is the mythic concept of cosmic origins, specifically the connection between inner and outer, the microcosm and the macrocosm. A seemingly endless array of elaborately decorated eyes populates the picture plane - large intricate ones in the central cloud, smaller ones in the surrounding darkness. The cloud-like space in the center represents an explosion of sorts - beginnings and becomings - arising from the depths. The eyes represent a multitude of beings, souls, energies. This drawing is incredibly detailed; you can see close-ups below.

Pink Cupcake

6" x 6"

This painting depicts a yummy pink-frosted cupcake, adorned with colorful sprinkles. I enjoy the process of photorealist painting, as it requires intense focus and concentration which usually leads to a rather meditative state of seeing and painting.
