So many things here at camp are about movement. The wind moves on the water, and we move between meals and classes. The singers and the mime people are working on (and with) body movement, and so are the wire sculpture people. The print makers and the photographers probably have their own version. All of us artists are about moving thought.

In this exercise we were to get more of our body involved, moving it more as a way to move others. It was suggested as a warm up, but I went on to develop them as finished paintings. You can see them above and below.

I work to amplify good wherever I find it. I love color, texture, beauty, great ideas, nature, metaphor, deliciousness, genuine spirituality, and exploring new territory.
