Collection: Soul Searching: The Essence

I call this series "Soul Searching" because focusing on less elements created feelings of vulnerability, and ultimately freedom - a sort of bearing of the essence of the soul.

This series features a spectrum of works from those left very raw with the fluidity of initial gestures to highly worked textural surfaces with no gestures at all. Resisting urges to add "more" - more layers of color, imagery or gesture, shape, or veiling - amplified the intrinsic beauty of the raw expression. The epiphany in painting this series feels like hearing an a capella solo, the essence of resplendent limitlessness born from limitedness.
