36IN. x 24 IN.
I have been experiencing major life changes. I am closing a beautiful chapter and eager to open a new one. So much loss and so much unrealized gain all in one fell swoop. This piece comes as the first after a long, much-needed sabbatical from painting in the studio. I needed to enrich my soul, focus on my feelings, and move towards something new. While this work is clearly me, it also embodies a sense of control, and a delicate balance of neurotic meticulousness with unfettered freedom. Its layered shifts in refinery are emblematic of my deeper experience through this time of extreme transition.
