The Wisdom of Dying

November 7 2025 - 

LAG 1154.jpg

The Wisdom of Dying is not about endings-it is about passage,
surrender, and the quiet intelligence of change. 

At eighty-one, I have come to see death not as an enemy,
but as a profound teacher, reminding us of impermanence, of cycles, 
and of the essential beauty in letting go.

 

We live in a culture that fears 
the inevitable, spending fortunes to delay it, chasing promises of
eternal youth. Yet nature offers a different story: every season yields to the next, 
and in that yielding there is grace, renewal, and even joy.

Through these paintings, I explore the landscape as metaphor-places
where color fades and reemerges, where light withdraws and returns. 
The work is a meditation on transition, not extinction; an invitation to see 
dying as part of living, and to meet it, finally, with curiosity rather than fear
