GLIMPSE- Baroque Series

GLIMPSE
Thoughts captured for this painting: 'There are moments in tuning instruments to play together, when multiple sound waves which have been oscillating out of sync, begin to align, drawing infinitesimally closer and closer, and the tension is excruciating until the very last second before SNAP - perfect alignment is achieved and your ears resonate with the unity. When the oscillation rates of sound are far apart, they don’t bother your hearing much, even when the notes are not harmonic matches. It is usually in the tension just before resolution where we find ourselves tapping out, stopping, running away, covering our ears. If we can just push through the tuning process, keep fine tuning our life, our spiritual alignment, our surrender, our empathy, then the tension will eventually resolve into the most beautiful resonance, amplified and unified. It is these moments of overlap that give us a glimpse of being vibrantly alive and reveal glimpses of how purposefully we were created to live in frequency and harmony with Creation and Creator.'

SERIES INFO
My Baroque series is influenced by my love of classical music and the depth of emotion hidden there for those who wish to seek its treasures. Baroque silk weaving and tapestry also bind their way into my colour palettes and brush strokes.
Each painting captures a series of thoughts that I ponder during my painting.

Much of my painting intertwines musical form and musical language into each composition, exploring the possibilities in transferring musical energy (sound waves) into visual energy (light waves) via paint, and I am continually exploring lyrical movement, pattern, rhythm, melody and harmony as colour and form. Sometimes I love to paint simplified forms of specific melodies and sounds, while other paintings are inspired by the emotions and meaning of songs, music, and words.

I am fascinated by the timeless and infinite nature of music and memory and how they defy linear time. In a single moment, we can touch the world Mozart lived in, transport the soul of the Baroque to us, we can hear what our ancestors heard - echoes of past transcending centuries and carried in to the future. This is a part of what inspires me to paint, giving visual form to those ideas.

My world was immersed in music when I was 6 years old, and I studied through to University, where I completed a Bachelor of Music majoring in flute performance, musicology, ethnomusicology & performing arts. From this life-long pursuit of music, I draw from a broad palette of musical styles and experience, and an ever-growing library of sound inspiration. My faith has also been a steady companion and is a major part of my creative process, ' ma raison d'être ' - painting has a meditative, prayerful quality that centers me each day, drawing me into a contemplative state that connects me to the unseen. It is a process of surrender to allow the work to become what it needs to be.

I would be honoured to have your support, and I hope my work brings moments of reflection and conversation and beauty. Art is made for interaction, and without your thoughts and responses the work is silent.
