I have always been inspired and awed by the primitive shapes and figures in cave paintings and in ancient African and Aztec art. Centaur Whimsy is part of a series of paintings in which I explore those elements. Pieces of canvas are stitched together to give it a textile feel and to add another dimension. Vivid color and different mediums also play with the primitive-like forms. Although these elements were the inspiration for my painting, it is what each viewer sees and feels that is the ultimate description for Centaur Whimsy.
