Pat Heydlauff - Artist's Statement

     I discovered my love for painting in 1993 as I was transitioning out of a stress filled career and exploring my creative side. As a colorist, I painted lively, vibrant mainstream artwork consisting of landscapes, florals and still lifes. Through painting, I noticed my life was becoming balanced and filled with harmony instead of stress. Painting allowed me to discover my spiritual nature and peace within and lead me to paint in a stream of consciousness flowing with energy. This flow of consciousness energy is visible in my recent "art with a message" canvas work where you can always find hope, peace and joy in the subject matter and in every brush stroke.
   Painting is the physical manifestation of my spiritual being. It is the flow of energy through paint onto a two imensional canvas projecting three dimensional energy.
   I endevor to convey a vital energy through sight with color and design. My inspirational and mainstream artwork can be placed in areas of the home and office to create an environment with balance, harmony and a flow of energy which enriches the viewer.
