Letting Things Go Allows Us to Bloom

I have been thinking a lot lately about how few things I really need and have been doing a rather huge purge...the kitchen, closet, etc. My heart has been particularly filled by giving away my older works of art that had never found their perfect home...and now they have. (Love my neighborhood Buy Nothing group!!)

Together

This is the fourth of a series of commissions I've done for an amazing client. I look at those cherries and I'm reminded of how much better we all can be when we're together. Looking forward to a summer filled with togetherness.

I Love Sushi

 I was commissioned to recreate a piece I'd painted in 2019. This recreation is even more vibrant than the original. Always such an honor to do a commission.

I Love Dolmas

This is the second in a series of food related commissions I'm working on. This was commissioned by the same person as the last one as a gift for his dear friend (who happens to love dolmas). I'm pretty fond of dolmas, too!

P.S. The veins in the grape leaves are gold and they sparkle.

I Love Strawberries

This piece was commissioned by the owner of a chocolate covered strawberries company. 

I'm super honored that it will be hanging in their store.

The title says it all...I love strawberries!!!

Making Connections

 A dear friend who holds an incredibly special and magical place in my heart commissioned this piece. 

May we all create connections, from the most microscopic to the broadest reaches of our imaginations.

Find the Life you Want

 "Start over, my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it.

Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to."

-Madalyn Beck

My Process: I crumpled the paper, as often happens to our hearts, and slowly added layer after layer finding new pathways. While it will never be restored as before, uncrumpled, it has found its way to beauty and a new life.

I've been working on a commissioned piece and my pieces always have companion pieces that I work on during drying time. This one is particularly connected to the commissioned piece. I'll share it at some point soon.
