It is appropriate that this piece be in my first show. It is what I feel I am going through currently, although there have been several major transitions in my life. Transition means change and it is a paradox that the constant cycle of life is assurance of never ending change. My first paintings seem to have an ethereal look to them but even then I was exploring the concept of light vs dark, and the idea that we remember we are whole and balanced when we recognize and embrace both the light and dark aspects of life.
