This past Spring I took a virtual workshop with North Shore artist and mentor Nella Lush titled “Art from the Soul.” Instead of painting representationally, I was now turned on to paint “from the inside out” as i like to call it. More classes followed with Adria Arch were I learned more techniques to use as springboards into this kind of work. These four pieces are work that have been started with a big scribble, some contour drawings of my hand and a poem by Sufi poet Rumi. Each beginning had many iterations, diving deeper into my inward exploration and outward expression of it with my painting. This work can be challenging, very personal, and exciting. It opens my heart during this year of Covid when it is too easy to feel shut down and shut off from life as I have known it.
