Even though I make teeny tiny paintings, I love the embodied process of painting big - the dancing of it. Up on your tiptoes, down on your knees, on a chair, your brush extending the length of your arm - a fully somatic, fully present process. This is my largest canvas painting to date. For scale, my friend who is 6ā€™6 is viewing the original for the first time in its absolutely stunning Haddington Airbnb home .

Big Ole Tree, a Tennessee Oak,2026
this treeā€™s ink itself, walnut ink, green earth, woad, Tennessee soil, acryliks, graphite, Storm Fern ice, and acrylic on canvas, 24ā€ x 36ā€

A part of the recent exhibition, Big Ole Tree is a several hundred year old Oak sentient being found in Middle Tennessee woods, my dadā€™s favorite tree. He taught me to love trees and plants like family, and the Big Ole Tree was fundamental in seeing plant life in this way.

Dad told me many stories about the tree over the years. He tried to visit it, advocate for it, protect it, get the greenway path in town to have a detour to it. He would update me, and after a huge tornado, a couple of the most enormous branches were ripped off. These branches the size of their own several century old trees themselves. He was heartbroken by it, and through it all, the tree still stood proud and strong (even with a hole where the branch once was).
Ā 
Not long after my dadā€™s death, I found an envelope in a wooden box that he kept his treasures in. The envelope said, ā€œpix of the Big Ole Treeā€ and my pet name, Lee. I carefully opened the envelope to find all those pictures of me and the tree from decades ago, with a phone number of the Arbor Society on it. And of course, tears and joy rolled down my cheeks. He had left me to take care of his favorite tree, to carry on his legacy, and he deeply knew, in my tenacity, that I would fight for the ā€œBig Ole Tree.ā€

At , I took some time to really delve into some new ideas that focus upon natureā€™s fingerprints, like bark and rock patterning. Some of these pieces have landscapes integrated on top of the prints . The curving linework reminds me of a dance, a pathway, a topographical map, some remnants of an ancestorā€™s journey. All pieces are made 100% with ecofriendly materials and found pigments.

Creating watercolors from this land I am privileged to be living into at - from the rock beach and charcoal made from willows. The residency has bees too: the most delicious, nourishing honey from this well loved land. This very honey is the humectant (the rewetting agent) in these colors. Of the land, from the land, with the land, for the land.
