Textures Through Time

During a recent trip to Barbados I came upon a most impressive work of art.  In the historic village of Speightstown there stood before me a stone wall that was covered in a rich textured patina.  Layers upon layers of organic matter had rendered its original state creating an exquisite canvas of spectacular textures.  

It occurred to me that there was a parallel between this natural process and that of the unique character of the individual.  Similar to the journey of life, it is exposure to experience and influence, combined with one's predisposed nature, that shapes our ultimate being, rendering the individual with its very own unique and exquisite texture. Much like the infant child this wall commenced life with a clean slate, tabula rasa, blank until impressions are recorded upon it by experience. It is this process that informs and influences these paintings.
