the beginning of life was not a single event, but an evolution of increasing complexity that involved reproduction and the sustained repetition from disordered to ordered processes within cell membranes.

In other words, magic.

Watercolor, free and organic, followed and bounded by precise opaque lines…wandering the boundary between freedom and restraint, order and chaos, control and letting go…
I created these works as soothing, uplifting visual therapy for both heart and mind. I hope you find them as therapeutic as I did while painting them.
