The Meditation Series

...a spontaneous dance of energy and ink
and in that moment...I exist

 I always begin a painting by grinding an inkstick on a wet slate slab. It's the traditional asian way to prepare the ink and to calm myself before painting. 

For the meditation paintings, I carry this to an extreme, grinding ink for at least fifteen minutes, feeling the energy build inside me.  I load one or more brushes with ink.  When it feels right, I suddenly release the tension; the brush flies across the paper, usually in just one stroke. 

I never know what the result will be but performing this spontaneous gestural painting always makes me feel great!
