"Traveling With The Pope" Oil and Conté on Linen 24” X 18” $2,000 The power and beauty of the coastal environment is undeniable. I am fascinated with fractal detail of water and light in the shallows, weathered materials and the forces that created them. Through drawing, painting and sculpture, it has been my practice to point out the spectacular in the mundane. Thus, I teach how to see. The Pope, the sky, the sea… all evanescent. This painting reminds us that we travel in impermanence together. When we look deep into detail, subject and scale become irrelevant. Contemplating this paradox creates a crack in our façade of certainty about identity and meaning. We are compelled to pay attention, to unknot our minds and wake up. In this age of information overload, I curate that rarest and most elusive commodity: peace of mind. It is this intention, authenticity and capability, which viewers find compelling and discerning collectors seek.
