Artist Statement - Pathways
I am truly happy when I am outdoors. Walking on the beach or in the forest, I am flooded with visuals that feed my creative soul. I am drawn to pathways….paths in forests and paths of light on water.
On my walks, I found myself constantly taking photos of these and it wasn't long till I started thinking about them in their relation to the roads we take in life…..the uphill path, the winding path, the rocky path, the elusive path. Each has their own character just like our lives. They are reassuring; making things easier; giving us direction and passage through the rough spots. We are mesmerized by the sparkle of light on water inviting contemplation and leading our imagination.
For me, a painting is successful when it triggers an emotional response or memory.
Light and its effects are what accomplish this for me. Capturing this is my ongoing challenge. There will be ups and downs on this path as well.
