The Celebration Series are large scale mixed media paintings. As I begin each each piece I have in mind a chakra of the body and I and my paint are in a dance with the canvas. Movement is key here and it sets the tone for an orchestra of visual elements to come together later in the work.  These pieces speak to a life lived, a body worn down, or re-enlivened.  A tapestry-like image develops, with almost a weavers approach to the media.  These paintings are 4’ x 5’ allowing the viewer to step into a bone garden to celebrate and enliven the body, mind and spirit.
