TRANSFORMATION: SEEKING PEACE
In this body of work I have painted multiple panels to express a transformation toward peace and tranquility. These transformations take place on many different levels: in Tranquil Mind - moment to
moment, moving from stress to calm; in Tree of Life - moving through an illness and finding solutions; in
A Woman's Flight- exposing the stages of life, becoming more comfortable with my mortality; in Eternal Faith - accepting the plight of my ancestors and welcoming peace between the countries involved in that struggle: and in No More Prisons,, acknowledging our internal prisons as well as structural prisons within our communities that can be viewed as stunting healthy communication and a peaceful planet. To complete each multiple panel painting, I assessed how the individual panels looked next to each other. Then I made subtle adjustments, unifying the multiple panels into a cohesive body. As I continue to develop this body of work, I make very few studies, as I want to trust my intuitive process.
