Her canvas was hot pink and just off camera 👩‍🎨 Her canvas was hot pink and just off camera 👩‍🎨
I recently asked a long time art collector why she I recently asked a long time art collector why she continues to collect my work. 

Here’s what she said, “The art you create, while abstract, tells a coherent story and makes me “feel” deeply emotional when I look at it. I really feel like I’m “taking it in” and feel a shifting weight before and after the experience. Sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier. 

The stories you tell about the works and collections make sense to me in how they play out on your canvas/ canvasses.” 

This series is called “While You Were Sleeping” and is a continuation of my motherhood series from 2024. This series comes after my dad died unexpectedly and my son was born. It’s heavier and lighter for me than my 2024 series. It also incorporates the 24k gold lifelines from my 2020 “Gaslight” series. 

The titles of each painting are a phrase my toddler says. Which echos my 2018 “Divide” series where each painting was titled a phrase from one of my 5 loved ones who died suddenly in 2016-17. 

I make art for people who want to feel calm and at peace in their space. The stories I tell are mine but sometimes they might feel like they’re yours.

I’m a professional artist of 12 years and I’ve had I’m a professional artist of 12 years and I’ve had 2 children in the last 2 years and here’s what I’ve learned

- Time is money. I’ve lost $85,000 annually in revenue since becoming a mother simply because I do not have the same time I had before.

- I’ve missed opportunities and shows because I can’t get childcare. 

- Focus is a luxury and switching gears is hard. Going from making bottles and whipping butts to creating a color palette that tells the story of a collection is hard. Making artistic and story driven painting is hard.
