Leap of Faith

What can be said, this is what it feels like at times. I am going to take away the only thing that allowed you to cope with the world for 25 years, and I want you to trust me, so jump and fly or die. They dont tell you it hurts tho.

Chasing Butterflies

Acrylic on canvas (original is 24×27). So many people are obsessed with “chasing butterflies”. That is, with finding the next beautiful or entrancing thing, and the next, and the next. They make your heart skip, always looking for the newest, the prettier, one. But in this search for the next great thing they miss the beauty and the significance of the present moment.

Taking Inventory

Acrylic on canvas (27 × 32). Searching for things - personal short comings,tools and strategies that you had used since childhood to cope, that just don't work anymore.

Ascension

Life throws pebbles in your path, although in my case I always thought of them as knots. That feeling like a cord that goes through your chest, a connection with the spirit, when you blindly hit a knot, whether it is bad news, good news, love or anger. I feel as if that knot is being drawn through me. Only recently have I been able to appreciate that this is life, on life’s terms, and savor the moment, anticipating the knots.

Hubris

Hubris ( /ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, means extreme haughtiness, pride or arrogance (David Brockwell). Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.

Letting Go

Painted at one of the hardest points of my recovery, when I realized I had to let go of some of my shortcomings. I turn myself over to the universe; all of me - good and bad. I ask for the willingness and trust that the things that I do not need, that keep me from seeing and being, will be removed and replaced with positives.It is a painful process, one that I find myself retreating from and then pursuing, again and again.

Lotus

Acrylic on canvas. Very much like the Buddhist idea of the lotus as a symbol of enlightenment and purity born from the mud of the earth. Represents for me the struggle of years of addiction and the rebirth into the light of consciousness.

Obsessed

When I am obsessed there is no room for anything else. The beauty around me does not exist, nor the wake of damage left behind and the people whose lives I affect unawares. Obsession is driven by ego, emotion and everything that humanity has etched into my spirit, or by my love for one person.
