NATURAL TENDENCIES

The goal of the Natural Tendencies series is to uncover and explore the nature of the creative impulse. Each painting represents an independent effort at documenting the experience of the artist as those creative forces and motivations most deeply felt within are accessed. Assisted by meditation and yoga practice within a natural setting, the process of painting gradually reveals dream-like scenarios, cloaked figures, and curious creatures as they emerge to challenge and inform our collective consciousness.

The current series was begun in late 2006 and is still in progress. Thus far, 19 canvases, each 30 x 30 inches have been completed using a variety of media on canvas, including acrylic, oil, india ink, and rayon paper.

The first 12 paintings are currently on exhibit at EQ Gallery in Burlington, Ontario until August 11, 2007.
