BACKGROUND ON THE GOLD SERIESThis series tells the stories of nature and the reality that there is one world. It may feel that there are two worlds, the human world and the world of nature. However, the human world is the natural world too. All things humans own came from nature. Yet, there is a significant disconnect of this reality as humans have transformed their surroundings away from nature into magnificent urban environments and as a result there is a sense of separation. The way humans have created this society in a relative short period has been a formidable feat. With that has come a loss of well-being as nature is intricately linked to the human spirit. In fact, our spirit is dependent on nature. That said, I try to create a world we can use indoors without losing that spiritual connection. These paintings have the power to encapsulate the need to find that sense of belonging in nature, and by the act of introducing them into our houses, they will shine and shimmer their golden light and their vibration and make us feel back at home, where we come from. From nature. |
