The paintings in the Echoes of Illumination series depict threads of shimmering light streaming into circular forms. Seen from afar, they are a graphic pop of color bringing joyful energy into any space, they catch the light and nearly glow—while the highly layered technique draws the viewer in, to look up-close and examine the tapestry of layers upon layers of many-colored vertical lines.  

It is this dual nature, and the ability of the paintings to draw viewers in, that has kept me expanding the series. I love watching people explore the paintings up close and pepper me with questions about how they are created. They provide a meditative space for people to look and free associate— I have heard so many stories about what they remind viewers of and how they make them feel.
