When I started abstract paintimg in 2012 I had no idea it would blow the roof off my life and change everything but it certainly has. Somehow all the interior contemplation and energy that abstract painting unleashes in me has ended up expanding into my whole life leading to my writing, my reflections, podcasts, poetry, paperfolds, faith/prayer life... all informing each other, creating a completely unimagined unity all based on a quest for truth and beauty birthed in me by making abstract art!
Today, looking at a copy of Rublev's Trinity (15th century CE) I noticed a detail in the upper left corner which I immediately related to a detail from a painting I finished last week. The connection is utterly miniscule but has led to a whole wealth of amazing spiritual reflection for me!
As an abstract artist I find myself continually dumbfounded that using color and shapes that are completely disconnected from objective reality, I keep ending up uncovering the most amazing interior realities. O the wonder!
