Moving backward in life to move forward may seem counterintuitive, but that is exactly what the artist did to recover from a personal tragedy. After regaining their footing, they reached into their past and created a contemporary sequence of artworks titled the “Purple Circle Series.” This collection serves as a reflection of their journey through adversity and the strength found in resilience.
Being nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, depth perception has always eluded the artist. They have compensated for this unique vision challenge by using mathematics and geometry to navigate through visual life, a technique that is also reflected in their work. Even after cataract surgery, this approach continues to shape their artistic perspective.
Self-taught and constantly pursuing artistic skill and knowledge, the artist views their journey as an ongoing endeavor. Each event and experience builds upon the last, leading to a continual evolution in their understanding of what it means to be an artist. The future subject and direction of their work remain open-ended, with time, environment, and feeling acting as the guiding forces.
Living in various parts of the US, the artist now calls the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania home. Their life-changing event has influenced their art in profound ways, shaping a new normal that will continue to inspire their creations. To bring a piece of this journey into your own space, consider purchasing prints of their work for home and office decor.
