Art by Thomas
Making art, practicing yoga, and the gestalt model for communication all feel to me like the same thing. These practices require that I be fully present and alert to what is in front of me, aware of the details and subtleties at any moment. Accessing the creative flow gives me so much pleasure and enjoyment. My main experience in creating art is having sensual fun. Of course I experience the scraping and scratching at myself, the angst of allowing something deeper to come out without my mind controlling, trying not to judge, and just allowing.
I’m a beginner as an artist, steadily practicing for the last seven years, with a history of art classes in high school and college, and successive periods of creative inspiration. Typically, as a child, I experienced adults who suggested limitation concerning my artwork. It’s taken some time to undue these powerfully received artistic judgements, so as I experience the creative flow, fun and absorption, I feel so great.
Please enjoy my Art Gallery. This body of work consists of acrylics, pastels and charcoals, done in a variety of locations around the world. I wish you great viewing pleasure. Your comments and feedback are welcome.
