Exploring the power of symbols.

This is a Cintiq Companion, digital manipulation  and updated revision of the acrylic canvas Madonna of the Light—My Boy, from the All Things Holy art exhibition, in 2013.

The All Things Holy art exhibition was my awards show, granted by and held at Artel Gallery, Pensacola Fl, for winning Best of Show, in 2012, with my canvas The Green Vase.

Communion

Communion

Communion (c)2011– Acrylic on Stretched Canvas, 24″ x 12″

I stopped painting for two years after my father died in 2009. This was the the canvas that reclaimed my creative spirit. Bach’s “Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor” paired with Gavin Bryars’ “Sinking of the Titanic” * cradled me through swells of anger, love, helplessness and tears, until I reached that place of acceptance and peace. It was very much a cathartic process that began as mourning but ended in freedom through a spiritual communion with my father. Painting is the one place where I can see. This painting has been added to the G+ #FirstFridayArtWalk

* Note: I had the good fortune of attending Gavin Bryar’s 2012 performance of “Sinking of The Titanic” at (Le) Poisson Rouge (@lprnyc), in NYC last April. Both recordings are generously provided by Q2 Music (@Q2Music) and are both  worth your ear.
