About "Out of Deep Waters"
The sailor tells of the perils of the sea; the traveler recounts the varied incidents of his career; and the soldier who has passed through battles and sieges can speak of hairbreadth escapes and moving accidents by flood and field.
So it is with human life. We have the power of looking back; we can in imagination revive the past, and as scene after scene rises before us, our heart is thrilled with various emotions. And what we have experienced and recalled, we can set forth to others.
We are the sum total of our past...but we don't have to stay there. The past can be the stones on which I lay the foundation of a new future. At some point we need to face the past, we need to drown in our angst, insecurity, pain, worthlessness, alienation, orphan-spirit into the seas of possibilities. Only once I have let go of myself, my pride, my exudes, can I reach the depth where stillness comes.
It is a depth of quiet...I drift and wait. I am not in control. Then that small voice comes, a flicker of hope and life gets inserted into me. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive!

About Leonie
How I Create
The brightness of oils is mixed with the soft translucency of encaustics (wax), and creates hidden messages and layers below. The layering gives the work a softness and richness that invites the viewer to look closer and to experience the satin-smooth surface through touch. The wax layers get more and more translucent through the warmth emanating from the exploring human hand. The viewer becomes a part of the slow change and clarity of the painting...as if the message is rising from the depth of the hidden soul to the surface of the mind. There is a strange ethereal beauty to these paintings, as if made from air.
