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 series reflects their journey of healing and growth, showcasing the resilience and creativity that emerged from their difficult experience.
Being nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, depth perception has always eluded the artist. They have compensated for this visual 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 unique perspective continues to shape their artistic vision and approach.
As a self-taught artist, the pursuit of artistic skill and knowledge is an ongoing endeavor for the artist. Each event in their life builds upon the next, leading to a constant evolution in their understanding of what it means to be an artist. This commitment to growth and exploration ensures that their work will continue to evolve and push boundaries.
The future subject and direction of the artist's work remains uncertain, as they are guided by time, environment, and feeling. A life-changing event has shifted their perspective, influencing everything they create. Despite the uncertainty, the artist embraces this new normal and looks forward to the journey ahead, wherever it may lead.
Having lived many lives across different parts of the US, the artist now calls the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania home. Their unique experiences and perspectives are woven into their art, creating a rich tapestry of emotion and expression. For those looking to bring a touch of this artistic journey into their own homes or offices, prints of the “Purple Circle Series” are available for purchase, offering a glimpse into the artist's transformative and inspiring work.
