Acrylic on Board, 2025

The silence between the notes is the song. The act of cutting away is a courageous act that makes the art. Without the courage and discernment to cut things, even favorite things, art, like life, becomes a muddled mess.
Only by cutting what no longer serves the whole can the true meaning of the work come through. In art, this can mean painting over my favorite parts to shift the focus to how I want you to feel when you view the piece.
The history is still there. The love. The attention. The weight.
And I’ve diverted your attention to the most important parts of the story my heart wants you to know about. In this piece, it’s blue. I want you to see the blue and imagine the world around you growing in shades of blue.
The feeling of being underwater at the same time as wandering in a forest. Always more. Life and decay. Just blue.
