BE/COMING is now live.
I painted these pieces before my residency in Italy, but it wasn’t until I got there that I understood what the collection was really about.
For years, I’ve been chasing the next milestone. The next exhibition. The next opportunity. The next thing that might finally make me feel like I’ve arrived.
Then, for one week, something shifted. I stopped trying. I could simply be.
The title of this collection comes from that realization: the ongoing work of becoming who we are, and the relief of accepting ourselves as we are.
These paintings are some of the most personal I’ve made. They feature women who are tender, self-possessed, and unapologetically present, painted onto antique books, documents, engravings, and penmanship pages that carried their own histories long before they found their way to my studio.
I loved making this collection. I loved living with these women for a while. I loved finding the perfect antique paper for each of them.
And now I get to share them with you.
