dancing in thin places

Dancing in Thin Places began as a reaction to a personal emotional state. The early Celts believed that there were actual locations where the substance of the world as we know it became so thin that if one stood in that place they could get a sense of the supernatural. In my paintings I record not the “places” as much as moments experienced where I have felt this “thinning”. Where I take this concept considers these times in our lives where, if we are paying attention, we may experience something that transcends our normal sensibility, something divine. The whole collection reflect an evolution in my spirital as well as artistic journey.

Impressions

Impressions is an ongoing collection that explores what the emotion of a place or thing could look like without being strictly representational. It is the depiction of the implied. Broad sweeping strokes of color define this collection creating the visual interpretation of an experience.

wearable art

Creations forged in gemstones and precious metal, each piece is a unique one-of-a-kind work. Pendants are creations that often express a theme using symbolic shapes. These may be hung in a frame, or worn. Other wearable art include Blair's signature "swirly" earrings made from sterling silver.

digital works

These are surreal compositions created using original photography from around the world. Ideas from dream states are brought to life by using contemporary collage methods. Some are representational, some are metaphorical, but they all communicate a deep concept that normal illustration could not attempt.
