I discover an infinity of worlds within worlds.
And timelessness...

What’s around the bend, hidden over there?
All my life I have been drawn to this sense of things.

Artist Statement – Dunya McPherson

“The mythic truth is always rooted in landscape.” – Allison Charon

For me, painting is an episode of a sheer, vibrating, embodied consciousness. My eyes are awake in a swirling world of flattening as dimensions that are neither two nor three emerge. My eyes and hands unite. I can barely tell one from the other until brush touches surface. I let go of object rendering to occupy tones, temperatures, textures, edgers, strokes, motion — the mechanisms of illusion, but also of alchemy. Later, I step back and see, though all along I have been immersed in a particular see/feel.

I am fortunate to have spent my life as a practicing, professional artist in a number of forms. A disciplined, pleasurable honing of skills and understanding of structure is common to all.
