Artwork description
I am drawn to surrealism as it depicts a world where time is meaningless and gravity does not rule. In my surreal landscapes, objects are possessed by the spirits of positive and negative emotions or are carried by my little hummingbird messengers to add further depth to the story. Hopefully my work will connect emotionally with viewers, encouraging them to unmask these objects to discover their spiritual core and find personal meaning within.
This painting was an exercise in art therapy for me after a relationship was ended. I used my engagement ring as well as inherited objects from my favorite aunt’s estate (scissors and a hand bell) to help tell the story of my feelings of loss and heartbreak. I included the Old Testament reference of the “floating hand of God” as a sign of prophetic warning: the floating iris has been severed and flies are circling overhead. The barren landscape reinforces the reality of despair and emptiness.
