Sample of Scroll Painting (Full View) 42"x 30" Acrylic on canvas

All of the paintings in this series are scroll art works.
They come on scroll poles, as pictured above,
with a nylone strand attached to svivels at each end of the top scroll pole.

Chakra is the sanskrit for "disc" or "revolution". This describes centers in the body within which energies or "energy centers" transform. This idea is first recorded in some of the Hindu Upanishads. Chakras are found in sanatan/Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions and called Ch'i in traditional Chinese medicine. Chakras are part of the subtle body, and meeting points through which the life force (prana) move. The notion of energy as an underlying web to objects has been a consistent influence on my art. With the Chakra series I look for archetypal symbols of primal energies. I find these paintings excellent to ponder while practicing Tai Chi, or Qigong.

Acrylic offers the virtue of layering solid painting and glazes.
I take advantage of these qualities to re-work the image
to a harmony of concept.

The idea of a human DNA in color centers is intriguing to me.
