SO RICH A MANTLE
new paintings now available
+++
The creation of this collection of paintings intersected a particularly uncertain season in my life, and a wide array of emotions surfaced as I worked. The diversity of each painting — color palette,mood, location — a reflection of where I was internally during particular moments in the studio. These paintings became my lifeline, pulling me back to my own center of gravity, what was true in me unearthed through the process of creation.
My practice is one led by uncertainty, patience, curiosity, compassion, and self-trust. Each painting comes into focus as a byproduct of conversations with the canvas. They become not just bare terrain but places draped in a mantle of emotion. Within this rich mantle, there is an ache of transience, knowing it can be shed - seasons turn, light changes, land is transformed. These landscape paintings are a visual record of an inner life, much like the physical landscapes that record earth’s inner workings. And just as the earth changes, our landscapes will change — to behold so rich a mantle is to know it will shift, be shed, and renew.
