Personal Practice: The Painting Circle

The circle becomes a living, open-air studio, fluid and responsive to the elements, reflecting the energy and connection at the heart of Como Demo. Each brushstroke, each traced shadow or wind pattern, becomes part of an ongoing spiral of awareness and transformation. Every piece made is one-of-a-kind. I love working large and intuitively, and the circle offered the ideal space to move freely, paint openly, and follow feeling rather than form.
