Q: What was your inspiration behind this piece of artwork?
“Let’s Jam” was a commissioned piece inspired by rhythm, song and passion. My niece and nephew jam endlessly in a home studio and their home is filled with music incessantly. This painting showcases the instruments that are usually played in their jam sessions. The flow of the instruments move from end to end representing how music waves ebb and flow, while the colours represent energy and life!
Q: How does living in Durham Region contribute to this inspiration?
Durham is a wealth of natural beauty. You can drive up north and look at a wonderful landscape, go on the trails and see new life, visit the lake and enjoy the warmth of a sunny day. I have been on a journey on taking my classical Feng Shui practice and integrating this methodology into my paintings. We have to respect Mother Nature as we are all interconnected.
Q: What does the Art of Transition mean to you?
Transition is a shift from one to another, a switch, a move, the evolution to another state. The art, would be how we manage the shift, how we work through the change, how this alteration can be a positive one.
