Mixed media on canvas
Size 36" X 48"
For a long time, I’ve had a studio practice where I process emotions through paint. Whenever something deeply moves me -a conversation, a song, the heartbreaks I can’t mend, the sense of bearing witness to tragedy yet feeling powerless… I turn to the canvas. I write on it, layer it with paint, then write again. I call this practice-studio diaries. Sometimes I write on raw canvas, sometimes over washes of color, sometimes erasing, sometimes revealing.
That is how my newest painting, Studio Diaries I, came to life. It’s a warm, emotional piece that makes me feel all fuzzy inside…While I was creating it, the studio became my hiding place from the world’s sharp edges. It’s a painting that radiates warmth and love, even when everything beyond the canvas feels uncertain.
