The mantra CHANGE STARTS WITH ME was energetically and manually embedded into the layers of this work from the Mantra Series.
The technique of cold wax medium for oil painting transforms the painting with each layer; it is truly an exercise in the Zen practice of non-attachment. Mantras focus me and thus become energetically embedded into the painting. The mantra is written, scratched, imprinted, scribbled, and collaged onto each layer, just as mantras are layered into the person using them.
Color blocks are containers for the mind to explore; there are boundaries, yet the interplay between the colors magnify the positive and negative space, providing contrast for insight.
Rich, bold colors amplify the mantra, while metallic and iridescent materials represent the treasures waiting to be uncovered during quiet contemplation.
It is my hope that my paintings inspire mediation practices and are a reminder to breathe while focusing on living a balanced, positive and peaceful life.
