Artist Statement
The mountains… so lush, so fertile, so alive with infinite colors at sunrise… the endless sky with clouds that mimicked the mountains they sat above… the smell of pine, oak, black laurel, fertile dirt, rain forrest… taking in the area with all my senses awoke what had been dormant in me for so long. I couldn’t help but surrender to the beauty, surrender to the Great Spirit, and take it all in. When I paint, plein air, I am able to be completely present, living the present moment right then and there, feeling my heart and spirit just be with the Great Spirit and all its beautiful creations. This body of work, rendered in watercolor, was created in 2021.
