Art joins these two aspects of our being in the most unique visual experience. When we feature a piece of original art in our homes, it reminds us that, at our core, we are ALL creative beings, capable of shaping the world. I have long been on a path of deeper spiritual reconnection with the beautiful, natural world we are blessed to live in, but sadly have grown so separate from. Modern day innovation brings a relentless speed and so many physical barriers that cause us to lose sight of our innate connection with Mother Earth. We can so easily get lost in the monotony of everyday modernity. Pastel painting allows me to explore my curiosity, connection, and awe, of the majestic divinity of this world, with my own two hands. My painting process offers the pause my soul craves. I love beginning my paintings with acrylic ink or by mixing my pastels with alcohol to create a vibrant underpainting that peaks through the finished product, creating an unmistakable glow. Then the process of layering the dry pastels of varying softness over top, with textured mark-making techniques, begins. When my painting experience is at its best, I’m painting, making my marks, and my world slows down. I slip into this beautiful meditative state of creation, where I’m not over-thinking, I’m just making, from a place of intuitive, embodied, unconscious decisions. I most often paint scenes from places that hold a special place in my heart: Chester County, Pennsylvania; Eddington & Bar Harbor, Maine; and Avon, North Carolina. Each of these places inspires me. Some are nostalgic; places full of memories. And some are hopeful, forward facing; glimpses of what might be to come. All hold moments that have captivated me. Moments are what make a life, both big and small, and we’re never promised the next one. That’s why, whenever I feel that swelling of gratitude in my chest, overwhelmed by the beauty that surrounds me, I do my best to translate it, through my art. My hope is that my paintings also offer you a pause. A glimpse at one moment in time. An invitation to stop and consider the moment before you, your humanity, and the world in which we live.
