Me and My Imaginary Friends

I have a penchant for strong lines… you noticed huh? Call it an overdose on Picasso early in my painting years, or my innate boldness, I’m not sure, but the ‘line’ is a recurring theme in my work. It seems to be a law unto itself!

I also have a thing for other dimensional beings! Being the dreamer that I am, I have experienced many vivid encounters with the nether world in my night dreams over the years, and sometimes they even leak into daytime visions when I’m feeling particularly receptive (think full moon/premenstrual). In a sense, all you get from a dream is the outline of the thing so I guess that’s what it’s all about.  Put the two together; the line and the space beings, and voila!

Blue Friend is always waiting for me, like an adviser or guardian I feel she is always around…

In my twenties I struggled with psychosis brought about by too many illegal party drugs… just a cautionary tail… it’s taken until now, age 44, to really get my s*** together and stop looking at the dark side of the moon. It’s been a tough ride and I was very vulnerable psychically speaking. I guess it makes me a good conduit for the art itself but it has been far from pleasant getting here. Just so you know… these images have been part of my healing journey, they are far from frivolous in that sense…
