with a sign beckoning to "come
in" and begin a journey
within. That is when I find
the trusting of intuition is
most important.

and massaging each form, until
the ripped paper,material,
encaustic forms and paint
coalesce into a unique form
before me. The painting
delineates where I am headed.
Then some sort of rhythmic
dialog forms, revealing a
marvelous life to the
painting, that I like to think
of as "Spirit" at work.
Lastly, comes the use of my

my own energy into the
painting. I try to bring the
viewer to...
