THE NATURE OF CHANGEChange is the natural expression of life that involves a progression of challenges and gifts. Each event encourages growth through testing, teaching, disrupting, and delighting. Examining the sequence of changes can reveal a great deal about one's personal journey.Change is inevitable and unavoidable. All things, thoughts and feelings evolve. Some changes are slow and imperceptible. Others are shockingly apparent.THE POWER OF CHOICENo matter what kind of change we encounter, the choices we make determine the nature of our experience. For example, choosing to resist often leads to difficulty while choosing to align can result in harmony and flow. The power to affect our lives rests in the choices we make.THE FRAMEWORKA timeless framework for understanding change is fully revealed in a book called the "I Ching", the Chinese Book of Changes. As a visual artist I appreciate structures that provide an overview along with detailed instructions. The "I Ching" is a major source of inspiration for my life work of exploring human consciousness through the art of painting. In "Visual Framework For Change" I have depicted 64 life changes that are universal. Each of these is illustrated from two different points of view. One perspective deals with the exclusive focus of personality or ego. The other view examines the more inclusive perspective of essence or higher self. I chose 36"x80" hollow core doors for the surface on which to paint. This way I could use both sides of each door to illustrate the two faces of change.
