Archways Into the Inner Worlds III


Some people have commented that one can be looking inwardly or outwardly through the archways. You can be looking inside yourself and you can be observing what is going on outside yourself. I find this interesting because these perspectives indicate where we are focused at any given moment in time. I like to think of these archways as a tool that can assist in stirring up the desire to look inwardly. To make that inner connection with oneself—because this is where our true selves reside.

Archways Into the Inner Worlds II

These archways invoke distant memories for some viewers. People have commented that it reminds them of somewhere they have been. There is a familiarity to the scene—but it is not necessarily on the physical plane. It is reminding them of a distant, serene, familiar place. Somewhere to which only their inner selves have traveled.

Archways Into the Inner Worlds I

The series that I am currently working on is called
"Archways Into the Inner Worlds."
These archways symbolize the portals, or entrances, into the innermost self — Soul. Each archway is unique as well as the scenes viewed through them. I receive most of my scene imagery from the dreamstate. I paint from my dreams.

           "I dream my paintings,
              and then I paint my dreams." — Vincent Van Gogh

I plan to create several archways — just like our infinite dreamscapes, the number of these that I can create is also limitless.

Three of the archways are currently on exhibit at
Rogue Space Gallery in Chelsea, NYC, March 5th-15th.
