The Mission of Using Your Wings:
My newest body of work is one that interprets and reflect the repetition of patterns found in nature, with an emphasis on winged creatures, flight, and the element of uplift. By studying these patterns, my goal is to create artwork that require the viewer to take on another perspective. Is it a tulip, or a bird in its nest feeding her young? A point of light in a shadowy cleft, or the stamen of an iris? And how does this relate to the human notion of resilience? What if “okay” is not at all what one imagined it to be? One is never the same person once returned from a difficult journey. What tools are needed, and how does one find them? How do you learn about Using Your Wings?

The Mission of Using Your Wings
Who
will benefit from this project? Anyone who engages in viewing the
paintings! My plan is to donate several paintings to Maine agencies in
locations where the painting can be viewed publically, and perhaps, for a
few moments, the beholder can consider a different perspective in the
midst of troubles. Included, but not limited to, are treatment rooms in
cancer wings of hospitals, Hospice houses, community centers involved in
healing, and similar locales. Others will be purchased by individuals
and corporations who are moved to do so by the concept or the painting
itself.
