Why I Paint
I have vivid memories, reaching all the way back to childhood, of feeling something profound when observing light in nature. My first recollection came at around five years old as I looked out at the wheat field that butted up against our backyard. It must have been the afternoon sun I saw as I stood mesmerized, unable to look away.
It is hard to describe, but the phenomenon always stops me in my tracks. Everything else melts away, and I see nothing but what is before me. It is healing. It is soothing. It is purity.
And then I want to paint it. I want to save and share the sensual goodness. Painting light lightens me. And I am hopeful that I can bring a little light, if only in some small way, to others. A respite from hurt. A moment for joy.
