"Another Unicorn Birthday Card": the feeling of love frozen in time, and my fear of only remembering where it stopped, not how we spent it. A grief that grows and walks and stagnates everything but passing time.

The colors of despair, or at least how I experience them in the living loss of her. It flows and fractures, and feels like a storm always bubbling under the surface. A silent hope that one day we'll meet again crashing against the belief that we never will.

"Let's Make A Deal": new watercolor painted with the weight of past experiences influencing current reactions. I live in the dichotomy of desire to be healed from past trauma and the reality that I still allow it volition to color my present.

Thank you so much!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

My 9 piece body of work is officially up at Harmony Wellness in Oshkosh! I'm excited to be a part of their first showing in the monthly gallery walk.

#oshkoshartist #harmonywellness #gallerywalk

12x18 inch watercolor painting on paper featuring an abstract landscape, and intense sky. The upper third is the sky made up of intense orange, coral, and red tones with varied saturation creating cloud-like bands. The lower portion depicts mountain-like layers. These mountains feature rich greens ranging from deep forest to sage and olive, interspersed with teals, aqua, browns, and touches of golden yellow. Irregular and odd edges.

"Interwoven": Watercolor painted while feeling the interwovenness of it all, how nothing is ever singular. People, feelings, thoughts. It all exists in relation to one another, and in order to experience it fully, you need to experience it all.
#abstractart #watercolor #painting #synesthesia

8x10 watercolor painting on canvas. The painting features an abstract blend of colors transitioning from gray and black tones in the lower two-thirds to cool aqua, teal, and deeper blue tones in the upper portion. The entire surface is heavily textured created through salt and old paint chips. Small pops of golden yellow appear in the upper left.

"Sea me": watercolor on canvas made using old paint chips, paint directly poured, and salt. I washed the canvas with a very light layer of black, and then began creating. This piece is how I view myself on my bad days: chaos, shallow, rough.

Abstract watercolor painting titled “Grief and Sweet Memory” featuring flowing organic forms in vibrant sunset tones of golden yellow, coral, pink, and magenta, separated by winding channels of soft sage green. The colors blend and layer creating an almost lava over land effect.

"Grief and Sweet Memory": one of my favorite Hozier lyrics felt like the right fit for this painting. Made while letting the sorrow of unsaid goodbyes wash over me, and allowing the lava like burn of joy come through when I sat with my grief long enough.
