Life is happening on a rocky surface, orbiting around a star through the mystery of space.  This is my Stone Series, reflecting my experience of life. My journey through space and time as I walk upon the Stones.

Stones I – Vibration (Nature) – Inspired by a photo I had taken of stones beneath running water in the backcountry (Ghost PLUZ). This then set the inspiration / vibration for the Stone Series. Oil on Canvas 40″ x 60″

Stones II – Heart Rock (Love) – This painting is inspired by backcountry adventures, the moments I find myself walking slowly alongside a river, creek or stream looking down at the rocks beneath my feet. When there is a rock that resembles the shape of a heart, it is noted and sometimes gathered. Oil on Canvas 40″ x 60″

Stones III – The Abyss Of Tranquility (Meditation) – The imagery came to me during a meditation session one morning. The title came to me later during another meditation session. This painting is about how we connect to the unknown, through methods such as meditation. “Be here painting, don’t be somewhere else” I would often tell myself throughout the process. This painting was about being something, rather than being like or resembling something. Oil on Canvas 40″ x 60″

Stones IV – I Am The Sun (Positivity) – “I visualize negativity in all forms crumble apart into pieces as it nears me.  In this state nothing can penetrate the shield of positivity I have created around my being.  Fragments gently blown away into another direction away from me.  I am the Sun.” The words in quotation came to me one morning while watching the sun rise on the horizon. The painting was inspired by the words and the moment. Oil on Canvas 40″ x 60″

Stones V – Matter Of Invisibility (Science / Spirituality) – “Everything Is From The Sun – it created, but there was no one to see the magnificence of it all. So it created you, the creator of it all.” Oil on Canvas 40″ x 60″

Stones VI – Replication (Cellular) – I have over time become very interested in what is happening within my body on a cellular level. This piece is inspired by the stones of Ghost (PLUZ), and inspired by the cellular activity I envision in my mind happening within my body.  It is very abstract in thought. Oil on Canvas 30″ x 40″

Stones VII – Who Am I? (Gratitude) – This painting is an ode to Bob Proctor.  I was working on improving my outlook on life, searching for and watching positive things on the internet, how to improve my mental and physical well-being.  Came across some Earl Nightingale videos and enjoyed watching them, this led me to searching for more.  Early in my search I came across Bob Proctor and became drawn into what he had to say. I am so grateful for people like Bob who share positivity, wisdom and knowledge.  This painting began with a few of his favorite illustrations of the mind and body, stonework and observers worked in around that foundation.  Thanks Bob!   Oil on Canvas 30” x 40”

Stones VIII – Infinity (Energy) – Flow in flow out, love, breath, gratitude. Inspired by a true story. Oil on Canvas 30″ x 40″
