When I was a small child I realized I was both clairvoyant and clairaudient.  For years I have done readings for people using those gifts.  It was only natural for me to paint in this way-- to interpret the images emerging from the dream state.


 I paint in two ways --Sometimes  I start with a very   detailed drawing  The second way is very intuitive. I take a simple concept  and without a drawing I create an underpainting.  I then build up the images using brush and my fingers.  Both  approaches require practice, but I recommend that new painters begin with a drawing.

Thank you for your visit.

Each painting is a special experience for me. My best paintings are those where an unknown force steps in. This is well expressed by Osho when he writes in his book Creativity, Unleashing the Forces Within----
 
"The real creator knows that she has not created anything. Existence has worked through her. It has possessed her, her hands, her being, and it has created something through her. She has been instrumental. This is real art, where the artist disappears. Then there is no question of ego. And then art becomes religiousness."
 
I call my painting-- Painting On the Other Side. I do this partly because I really do paint the area outside the object, and secondly, because the images come from a place outside of ordinary reality. I bring these images back with me from the other side.
