How my dancing/choreographing influence my painting

Being a choreographer taught me how the placement of dancers at different spaces on the stage creates its own nonverbal drama. Adding costumes, lights and sometimes a set also changed the language of the piece. This has influence how I use the space of the paper or canvas. The stage has been replace with different forms, images and colors on the two dimensional surface. The visual has its own nonverbal language that goes beyond the linear to different depths of feeling and expression. Nonverbal stories of juxtapositions of figures, images and nature are a constant search in my art.
