Original artwork description:

Color of You series draws significant inspiration from the chakra
system of ancient Hinduism. Achieving an alignment of chakras, where personal energies are
balanced, helps individuals find flow and harmony in their lives. My work with the pure form of
color strives to generate this necessary equilibrium in my audience. When in balance, one feels
as if in a state of flow, and desires are easy to manifest. By contrast, if a person’s chakra is out
of balance, there will be a draw to the particular color that could restore needed balance. In a
state of disequilibrium, one will also feel certain emotions in excess of others, and this feeling
will be held in a particular corresponding area of the body. The goal is to restore balance. This
can be achieved through an interaction with color.
Here is an example of color psychology referencing dark blue. Dark blue is related to the
third eye chakra, which involves listening to your intuition and following the signs of the
universe. Dark blue brings the feeling of inner security, trust, and calmness. With an imbalanced
chakra of this type you will feel a lack of intuition and inability to trust. This imbalance can be
redressed with the use of the appropriate chakra color, in this case dark blue.

My intention is to uplift a space through color. This painting is created from acrylic, spray paint and gold leaf.
