The Path to Paradise
36x48inch Mixed Media: sand, acrylic paint, vintage wallpaper, photographs of New Zealand, resin, mosaic tiles, and a miniature swimmer figurine on 1.5in thick professional grade stretched canvas in a solid wood float frame.
“The Path to Paradise” is a tribute to New Zealand, built from geometric fragments of my own photographs taken across this impossibly beautiful country; Queenstown, Fiordland National Park, Lake Wānaka, Hobbiton, coastal Dunedin, Milford Sound, Rotorua, and Lake Tekapo. Each place carrying its own quiet awe, depth, and soul.
Have you ever thought to yourself: ‘Am I on the right path?’ ‘How did I get here?’ ‘I’m ready to start a new journey!’ or ‘‘I know with every fiber of my being that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.’ Then this series is for you.
“The Path” is a series of large mixed media, bold, textured, abstract-yet-organic paintings made with sand, acrylic, resin, and a miniature swimmer figurine on canvas.
These unique pieces represent the multitude of choices and decisions we make along the journey of life; the people we encounter, the lessons we must learn, our unique personal growth, and learning to surrender to the natural flow of what is meant for us.
From a single point of origin that splits to many paths and possibilities as we flow through the waters of life, where water ultimately meets with the celestial sky.
May we all be more present and connected to ourselves, each other, and and world around us in order to more fully enjoy our unique journeys.
