The "Written Picture" project is a series of abstract paintings that I have been working on for almost a year now.  The series began with my idea to paint a book, capturing the essence of ancient texts in an abstract and contemporary manner.  I paint dashes moving from left to right, mimicking text.  The overall feeling of these paintings is of a busy space that somehow still remains quiet and ordered.  I mean for them to be transformational and spiritual, while remaining mysteriously ambivalent.  The viewer is meant to come to them without judgement or preconceptions and experience them as visual phenomena.  Think of them as symphonies for the eye.  Mostly, they have been done in watercolor, but recently I have begun creating some larger pieces using acrylic paints.
