Lately I have been asking myself what direction I want my art to go - Should a life changing experience also change the direction my art has been moving or should I continue with what I have been doing. I love painting the colours and textures of the Alberta landscape but have been feeling an urge to return to some earlier motifs and try to work them out more completely.
My mother died in April and this profound experience of losing the person who was my first tie to the earth, my first loved one and the person who largely shaped who I have become, has left me hungry to delve back into ritual and fairy tales. I am going to post some old work on this blog and then, from there, try to develop the images and archetypes in a deeper, more intuitive way.
