Caitlin Schumacher

Schumacher's practice embodies the beliefs she lives — that love is the life force creating all; everything fundamentally the same energy, infinitely expressed. She calls this Love In All Its Frequencies – LIAIF – indefinable by nature, always in service to love's evolution.
She enters each creative process with prayer and surrender, allowing her body to be the instrument through which LIAIF creates. Nothing is withheld. What moves through her body in the making is often unbearable. What arrives on the canvas is beauty. She has come to understand this as the meaning of alchemy: through allowing, lead becomes gold. In a world drowning in pain it cannot process, reason through, justify or repair, she offers this as a possibility – when we turn towards what is here, transformation naturally occurs.
Her paintings carry a Rorschach-like quality, every viewer seeing something different. In this way, the paintings remain alive, becoming uniquely personal in the eye of each beholder.
