Visual Dialogues: Contours and Configurations
Perspectives, like water, shift and slip. This collection explores our human capacity to intentionally alter our perspectival lens. How does the aperture of our looking glass alter what is seen and felt? How does scale, distance and space shape our experience of ourselves and the world around us?
The large vast landscapes and spacious color-scape oil paintings evoke the sensation of standing at the edge of something larger than oneself. These imagined terrains put us in contact with the movements and cycles of the earth, land and memory.
The ink figures, small and spare, offer a counterpoint. These drawings arise from the intersection of line and shape. Through delicate attention to line quality and simplicity of shape we encounter an emotional evocation inviting the viewer in close -opening the door to human empathy, compassion and understanding.
Together these works trace the shifting nature of perception and experience. They provoke an encounter with observing how we are changed by what we choose to notice. This visual dialogue encourages us to shift between macro and micro, oil and ink, vivid color and monochromality, ultimately to hold both the vast and the intimate in the same breath.

Words give rise to worlds.
Discover the deep connection between poetry and visual expression in this exploratory and immersive workshop.In our time together we will engage in how poetry, prose, haiku’s, sonnets or verses can become a springboard to launch our creative process.
Through deep listening and sensing our imaginations will be ignited.We will examine how poetic rhythm can become visually tangible, how verbal tone and quality can inform and enliven our color palette decision such as temperature, saturation/intensity and hue.
We will also play with how our edge quality and mark making are impacted by our poetic inspiration and honors our poetic language of choice.
In this workshop, you will:
* Experiment with translating poetic language into visual form
* Use poetry as a creative springboard to ignite your artistic process
* Deepen your connection to self expression through experimenting with the interplay between words and visual art.
