Dark Side of the Moon

In this painting I explore the concept of inner journey, and the mystery that surrounds every foray into the unknown.

This is an intuitive painting in that I started it without any concept of what the painting would be. I let the image emerge from the paint. To me, this painting is about the side of ourselves that we keep hidden, even from ourselves. It is like a dark closet where we throw in all self-doubt and anger, guilt and shame, resentment and grief, pain and remorse. We keep that door tightly shut, because those feelings don’t jive with the sunny face we present in our everyday lives. The face that is expected, accepted, counted on. But as we embark on the journey of self-discovery, we must face that part of us that we fear and let go judgments.
