What is unseen, the vitality of one’s inner life, is revealed through layers of fluid paint dripped onto the surface. Some traditions refer to the sacred as the Ground of Being, revealed here in color. Trees in this series reference the symbol of the Tree of Life, which is found in many sacred traditions. These works invite quiet contemplation, and finding the extraordinary within the ordinary.
