"Big Bang," original painting, diptych, 24" x 48"

An expansive diptych painting in deep, rich reds and blues that explores the origins of the universe. Emanating from a single source and extending outward, the big bang is said to be the event from which all things as we know them were created. The "Gaia" paintings developed out of an accident of spilled paint on the floor. I noticed the beautiful patterns in the puddle, and didn't want the paint to go to waste. I pushed a canvas into the wet paint, and discovered a whole new world of amazing patterns and designs. Since that epiphany, I have developed these paintings through the use of precise pull techniques and surfactants added to the paint. I continue to be amazed by the variety of art I can create this way, and each painting is completely unique and surprising. The "Gaia" paintings represent a sampling of Gaia, the living Earth, manifest through paint on canvas. The free-flowing patterns resemble the natural patterns of plants, flowers, water, sky, rocks and gems. Sustainability i
