Wings & Wind

This series of paintings explores the balance between effort and rest—between flapping and gliding, rising and falling. It reflects the emotional rhythm of life: moments that weigh us down and others that lift us up. Layers of painting are mixed with collage, including my morning journal pages and hand-painted papers, hold traces of thought and
feeling, giving form to both motion and mood.
These paintings are also about the struggle to lift ourselves up in spite of the news or whatever brings us down. They are about the will to keep on keeping on even when forces like gravity hold us down. The tension between up and down, happy and sad, work and rest, good and bad...the list goes on.

    Your work is really emerging and it’s beautiful to see. I got one for a birthday gift for a friend, and I want to print out some of what you have written about them to save and to pass on to her.

    She looks great in our temporary home! After we hung it up, we decided to unpack all art and books for the year so we could start to feel like “us” again, it was a good day. Now there is a burst of your thinking in our space. Thank
    you!

    And LOVE my bird painting and Queen of Hearts!!! Visitors to my house enjoy seeing your paintings, especially now that I can rotate some by season, like the pumpkin and the nutcracker named Captain Peppermint.Thank you! 

Why look at the surface only when you can look deeper?

I paint to get to know the world better, to look at details and think about them more profoundly. That's where my business name comes from – "profunda" is the medical term for something that is deeper relative to other things in anatomy.
