First Solo Show - Axle Artist Series in Ferndale, MI
In my work and in life I am constantly searching for beauty in the mundane. Often overwhelmed by the daily grind I find inspiration in conversations, colors and unexpected moments. Painting forces me to slow down and really work to process and express the sensory overload I face each day. I am constantly inspired by my students and love watching how their compassion and curiosity drives them. In my artwork I try to interpret these feelings using the colors, textures, and imagery that stand out in my mind.
In this body of work you will find…
cloud patterns from a drive home from work,
detailed observations of plants found peeking through the dark,
colors from messy paint pallets my students have left behind,
and hopeful growth in otherwise overlooked pieces of land.
