About the Artwork:
Excerpt from the artist, KK Kozik, “As to me," wrote poet Walt Whitman in 1881, 'I know of nothing else but miracles.” Whitman goes on to list some very ordinary phenomena as miracles, from “stars shining quiet and bright,” to standing under trees in a wood to observing birds in flight. I've been looking for a way to put into words what links these new paintings together and I relate to Whitman’s words. The vein of American mysticism linking the natural world with the spiritual has found form in artists as disparate as Rockwell Kent, Agnes Pelton and me: artists who process what they see, what they experience and what they imagine into a painted image. My minor miracles mostly surface from the rhythms of my day. Strolls and hikes and swims root me in my local landscape and put beauty in my way. My images are the meeting in the middle of the everyday world and the way my imagination processes it and my hand executes it.
