Imagine — Cannon Beach, OR

This brand new piece is part of a group show — IMAGINE — at DragonFire Gallery during Cannon Beach, Oregon’s 31st Annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival  — November 2-4, 2018 

IMAGINE — a group exhibition featuring more than forty DragonFire Gallery artists creating a view of the world inspired by the lyrics of John Lennon's timeless classic.

"Imagination" | 40 x 40 in. | oil & mixed media

"Imagination" | 40 x 40 in. | oil & mixed media

I've spent a lot of time listening to John Lennon’s “Imagine” and the lyrics with the intention of exploring its message in the context of today's world and within the themes I routinely explore in my work.  My hope is that viewers of this piece can imagine a transition from chaos toward peace — a migration from darkness into lightness. Gritty, turbulent marks are heavy in the lower third, but give way to softer, quieter, lightness — rising!  

Lennon gave the world a piece of art with a simple message which has endured and spanned generations — be dreamers, and imagine a better world.

While I can share my inspiration point for my abstraction, I often insist that I’m not a writer, I’m not a poet, I’m not a musician or philosopher — I’m a visual artist.  I prefer to believe my “story” has been told on the canvas.  Viewers may have a unique, internal and personal experience, enjoying a moment of their own creativity — to dream and imagine.
