Extravagant marks of somber and brilliant colors reach across my canvas, capturing motion. Push and pull tones imitate the moving terrain of contemplation and imagination. In my abstractions, landscapes, and portraits, I symbolize the aspects and stories of the soul. I render images of division and unity, between intellect and passion. I also find that sometimes my work can be incomprehensible or “unknowable,” yet familiar, as life’s biggest questions and hurts only have ineffable answers. Through expressive drawing and painting, I dwell on the visceral and supernatural, and our mortal connection to it.1. But You Had to Go
Acrylic on Canvas 48”x60”
This piece tries to grasp the end of a dream, and heartbreak. But also indicates the beginning of a liminal season of searching for meaning.
Inspired by Phoebe Bridger’s I Know the End.
