Created From the Simple Act of Looking
My work explores presence by staying open to how things appear in each moment, rather than a fixed idea of what they are.
The more we can look with a quiet mind, the more beauty we begin to see…both in the world around us and within ourselves.
“To find that which you seek, discard all thought that there is a separation between the spiritual and the physical world” -Sydney Banks
Painting is seeing.
Learn to paint with presence.
My teaching is centered on helping others learn the art of observation, paint with unflinching honesty, and trust what unfolds.
It’s my deepest desire to create space for people to slow down, observe deeply, and let the act of looking become a vehicle of self-discovery and joy.
