Iridescent Light

2019

This collection was inspired by a trip to Iceland. The colors in these works feature the amazing shades of blue, black lava, whites, greens, and golds present in the landscape. The iridescent material is representative of the changing magic colors of the Northern Lights.

There is a connection between a deep alone and abs There is a connection between a deep alone and abstraction. It is being comfortable alone with your thoughts. An abstract painting is a lot like spending hours in a field without a phone or distractions and just breathing and soaking in the details. The colors, the smells, the textures, the light, the gift of each breath in a sacred space. An abstract painting is a celebration of the foundational elements we take for granted. Light-I celebrate that. Color- what a gift! Texture-what richness!

The view from my desk is getting a little more obs The view from my desk is getting a little more obstructed each day. I don’t mind. The view from this window isn’t particularly enchanting. The window is rather a vehicle of light transmission - my personal portal to the sun. Give me your light even on the dreariest of days. 🌞

27 🎂 27 things I’ve learned (some are just o 27 🎂

27 things I’ve learned (some are just opinions): 

1.	Most people are not thinking about you. They’re thinking about themselves, so be who you want to be. 
2.	Confident, happy people, who love their lives, do not tear down the lives of others.
3.	Hot dogs are best with spicy mustard and sauerkraut.
4.	Bloody Mary’s should be served extra spicy and are way better than mimosas.
5.	Wearing perfume every day will slow you down and make you smile. 
6.	Running doesn’t have to be fast to be good. 
7.	Breathing is an exercise, a practice, and a gate house of peace, mood, and response. 
8.	Dancing is impressive, even if you’re a bad dancer – it reveals your level of comfort with the world. 
9.	It’s ok if other people like different things than you – in no way does it devalue the things you like. 
10.	Women need to be bolder and speak their minds with confidence. 
11.	“Dog people” usually hate cats, but “cat people” usually don’t hate dogs they just prefer cats. Dog people are the racists of the animal world. 
12.	Risk aversion is a risk. 
13.	Lentils are undervalued. They are the cool cousin who always knows what’s up in the legume family. 
14.	Stealing small joys from people helps no one and leaves lasting damage.
15.	Sunscreen, BHA, and Retinol are the holy trinity of skincare. 
16.	You should be able to purchase two different shoe sizes for the same price. (Am I the only one who has one foot ½ a size smaller than the other?… would love some feedback here 😜
17.	If you want something, ask for it. 
18.	Be quick to admit if you’re wrong and apologize. It always plays better than pride or redirection. 
19.	Apple products are slowly getting worse and worse. 
20.	No one remembers the same experience the same way. None of us have ever had the same experience. 
21.	An inflatable kiddie pool can provide a summer of fun no matter how old you are. 
22.	When you encounter a huge gap in your knowledge, dig in and try to fill that gap with some research. 
23.	Strawberries are the least delicious berry – overhyped. Huckleberries > all berries.
