ShinShin 40x60" thrown and splattered paint on canvas 2022
Shin Shin means the quietness of the snow falling, the soundless quality of quiet. When I was first painting the cherry blossoms series, I became stuck on the image of the trees. A Japanese artist friend of mine, told me, it's not about the image of the tree, or blossom, it's about the storm of blossoms as they drift slowly through the air and towards the ground. That artist friend is named, Rin, her name means the sound inside of a bell when it's not being rung. The stillness... ShinShin.
Shin Shin is represented by the LGOCA gallery in Laguna Beach.
