Circles surround us in nature.
When I observe them, I feel a sense of peace.
One symbolic message of circles is wholeness.
Whether created with a single line or an elaborate design, they are whole, complete, and beautifully simple.
I have incorporated circles into my art because I am attracted by their simplicity.
By placing the concept of simplicity into my life, I have been able to experience the benefits of feeling whole ... at peace.
That said, I also believe circles represent the process of change. So even though something is whole or complete, that doesn't mean it is finished. Its circular motion shows the objects of nature, including humans, are always changing.
So as we strive for a peaceful existence in our life, we must also accept the inevitable changes that come with it.
I hope my art carries you to a sense of peace.
