Recovery is a process to retrieve something that was once lost. This is a journey which, over time, brings a new perceptive and appreciation of life.

At times, unresolved issues from our past can make our life heavy and confusing, that we can barely function. But then with an immense investment in ourselves over time and a deep commitment to healing, we come to grasp the fruits of our own recovery. For me, those have evolved over the years but today they are the ability to better help others using my balanced self.

As a painter, I have learned to let go more of my preconceptions and self doubts and to focus on my subjects with a balanced mind.

This is a trilogy of paintings about recovery. I am always amazed by plants’ capacity for recovery even from the worst adversity.

The 3 ages of life.
