Mixed Media Photosynthesis Artwork

1/24/2018

Many people ask how I create my merged images artwork. I call the process photosynthesis for lack of a better term. I am fascinated by nature, technology, and the energy that flows through me to create paintings. It's an involved process, but I enjoy the collaboration with technology and nature.

Root Cause Series

It is always good to get the root of the cause of a problem. Unfortunately, it never seems to be an easy task. In nature roots are mostly unseen, yet totally necessary to a healthy survival. I created this series to remind us of the power of getting to the root of a problem.

​As a side note, there is a Native American legend that suggests all crows were white in color at one time until a disastrous fire happened then they became black in color.

​The crows in the image are my friends. Occasionally 
you will see them in my artwork. I have a family of seven crows that hang out in my yard. Of course I give them treats, and they treat me by leaving smooth stones in the birdbath. If you did not know, most crows stay together in their family groups.

The vibrant red-orange painting below speaks to the root and sacral chakras. Yogis believe we have a chakra system in our bodies. The chakras are seven wheels of energy. The first chakra is the root chakra- when it's in balance you feel grounded and safe. The second chakra is the sacral chakra. It's functions include creativity and sexuality. This painting has a fiery, fearless, and grounding quality. 

People see many different forms in my abstract paintings. I am always amazed what can come up visually for different people. Although, in the red-orange piece there are many who see a dancing woman with her arms in the air and a person kneeling in front of her playing a musical instrument, with a heart shaped form between them. ​​​

How do I get to the root of a problem? I find that meditation can be helpful, just sitting quietly can help me uncover or discover insights. Also, journaling has been very helpful. A simple piece of paper and pencil have helped me gain insights. I find when I write it helps me to see the bigger picture. When I write I just write, I don't worry about spelling, grammar...etc....
