Work in progress. 12”x12”, acrylic on wood panel.

Back in late January, before our world changed forever, I was lucky enough to take a river rafting trip down the Martha Brae River near Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is what it felt like - floating into the green. Sinking in it, held by it, breathing it in, dissolving into it. 📍🖼💻This piece and others that are still emerging will be making their debut at the 59th edition of Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, newly online this year, July 2nd to 12th. Message me for details. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Recently, I started working on a series of wood panels for the first time in many years. Always a “layers” girl, I’ve been drawn to the textures I can create and the resilience of the material. Carving into it, sanding layers away to reveal what lies beneath, even the smell of the raw wood has pulled me in. It’s been revealing to me that frankly, it can take more of a beating than the canvas or the papers I’m used to working with. That I can throw whatever I have at it, and it will endure. It can hold all the duality that I need to process. Both rough and smooth. Faded and fresh. Tender and bold. The hidden and the obvious. The raw and the refined. Reactive and reflective. The bitter and the sweet of life, all at once.
Art truly is my greatest teacher. 🎨 📍🖼💻This piece and others that are still emerging will be making their debut at the 59th edition of Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, newly online this year, July 2nd to 12th. Message me for details.

Work in progress. More texture experiments. Going with the flow, trying things I’ve never tried before and finding my way one step at a time. ✨It’s interesting, right? We can only ever see the next step ahead of us and have no idea what the outcome will be. ✨We can’t figure it out in our heads, we have to take that step, and then the one that presents itself after that. Lather, rinse, repeat.✨The more I hang out in my studio, the more I experiment and follow the breadcrumbs and keep taking those next steps, the more I see where I can do the same things in the rest of my life. ✨Grateful for the practice.🙏✨💚

Playing with textures. It’s been a time of experimentation and being willing to sit with the “not knowingness” and course corrections that come with new directions. (Hmmmm... does that sound familiar?) #lifeimitatesart #artimitateslife #uncertainty #creativeprocess #covidcreativity
