This body of work, composed of rich color, is held through soft forms and bleeding paint. Created through a time of familial loss and a new plane of existence realized in conjunction with new beginnings, these paintings hold a sense of release and invitation through abstract movement and outlines. Quiet, stormy feelings of grief are overpowered by favorite and hopeful hues that represent an undeniable need to follow a carved life path.
