The Process of 

Emotional Abstractions: Metaphysical Energy Interplay 

"Information is light; light is information. The more you become informed, the more you alter your frequencies. You are electromagnetic creatures.

Everything that you are, you broadcast to everyone else."

-  Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn: Teachings from the Pleiadians

I first read this quote from Bringers of the Dawn in 2018, and I was inspired to use this new understanding of energy in my work. My Emotional Abstractions process begins with the energy vibrations I experience at the right moment. When I feel the right vibration, I invite people---sometimes strangers, sometimes those I know---to bring their energies to the improvisational interplay. The dots and lines of this series are the marks that the participants leave on the paintings. During this process, you never know what you're going to get, like when you come up to a bar on a Saturday night. I want to learn how my energy interacts with others and how I express myself, and this process has proved to be exciting, unpredictable, surprising, and as unique as each individual who participates in it. My artwork is always playful, so no matter how dark the energy that comes up is, I find a way to play and engage with it. I freeze time and energy, the two things that make up our whole existence, in these paintings.
