lILA sERIES

“Lila”, is a Sanskrit word meaning, on one level, the simple joy of play and, on another level, the divinity of creation.  Lila describes the enjoyment I feel applying and obscuring layers of paint, plaster, brass and cold wax. It also describes the surprise of the unexpected result, the happy accident so coveted by artists.  Finally, Lila encompasses the hard work of making art: the risk-taking, the mistake-making and the reward that comes from trying.
