Archetype I, 2010, acrylic & mixed medium on paper, 23 x 28 inches.
Value: $1,000
To create my mandalas, I incorporate my own archetypal images by making reproductions of a selection of my most personal intuitive ink and charcoal drawings (created over the past 20 years) and, in effect, re-painting them into the body of the mandala to create a rhythm or a mantra with an inevitable message. In my effort to mirror the ritual and therapeutic uses of the mandala in Buddhist, Hindu and Native American cultures throughout the centuries, I use my own archetypal images, the motion of repetitive form, the written word, color and texture to create a place of “Oneness” for meditation, expression and actualization within the confines of “the perfect circle” to mirror the beauty of the Supernova after its devastating explosion.

Blue Float, 2007, acrylic on paper, 22 x 15 inches.
Value: $500
Music evokes the body to respond to a rhythm and become an embodiment of exuberance, expression and movement. My idea of painting is a rhythmic performance with music that creates a whole new language of abstract harmony, as a means of expressing music in visual form. The inspiration of Indian performance and various music selections inspire a language of expression, harmonious elements, and abstract figures which form patterns on my canvases. My paintings invite the viewer to wander through a universe of color and pattern in motion - a world of energy in music manifested in visual form. In the small universe I altered and accepted life of being, from everyday appreciation that gets created on canvas or in my drawings. The idea is to interpret the content of the music and express it via visual images; to create an environment of joy and passion conveying a feeling of dance and festivity while using the psyche’s imagination.
