About the Artist
"I started ‘The Movement Series’ after I moved into a studio space across the street from the ocean. I could see that the fluidity (the movement) of the ocean is a great metaphor and teacher of the flow of life. The ebb and flow of the waves is just like breathing in and out. I believe that the my current work speaks not only to Sheltering in Place, it also speaks of my practice of meditation and allowing this practice to blend with my life. Meditation allows me to transcend into a very peaceful state shifting out of the day to day flow or movement of mental chatter. Platforms, unfolding elements and grids are symbols that I use to express this movement. Meditation has been an invaluable and a key tool that reminds me to stay focused on beauty and what is truly important to me during these extreme times."
