Artist’s Statement

The paintings you are about to view are a series of images that take the viewer on a journey.  They portray the process of the transformation of the psyche as described by C.G.Jung in his term “individuation”.  Individuation means to become aware of all the parts of oneself.

 

The goal of individuation is wholeness attained by means of a religious attitude. This attitude is characterized by the careful taking into account of the  emanations of the spirit and the personal experiences of one’s life. Jung defines spirit as the factor that creates images in the inner field of vision and organizes them into a meaningful order. Each ensuing image is a progression and development. Thus the spirit leads you somewhere. 

 

Though wholeness is the goal, the essential thing is the path leading to wholeness, as wholeness is a lifelong endeavor. In every age there is an unknown aspect of the spirit waiting to be discovered. By sharing his or her experience of the spirit, the artist provides a point of departure and recognition for those who, willingly or unwillingly, are encountering the spiritual world.
