I find bodies of water to be calming and restorative. They are where I connect with Spirit. Around, on and in these blue places I slip into their rhythm and mystery, and the tension in my mind and body eases. In this current work I immersed my mind in bodies of water to support and embrace memories, and to create impressions. In my previous career I spoke of the folly of humans trying to control the ocean. In this body of work I have begun an adventure of listening to this voice and let the power of the water unfold. As I watched the water flow and interact with paint and ink I had a particularly nerdy moment of being in awe of the molecular structure of the water molecule which allows for its many unusual but characteristic properties, like surface tension, and so in homage, a water strider is included in this collection of paintings.
