What I'm working on now: Spirituality Series

I used to work in series, but 2019 was a difficult year that put me on quite the rollercoaster ride (not the fun kind). Then 2020 happened, and I don’t need to explain more since we all lived through that.

Here I explain the journey and what inspired me to work on a Spirituality Series.

HOLD ON!!! Don’t go anywhere. You must be special because you’re here looking at this blog post. Therefore, you get a sneak peak at my spirituality series as it develops! Click here to see it.

Thanks for watching! Have a super fantastic and blissful day.

Featured Art: Evergreen

My painting Evergreen was accepted into the Rockland Virtual Arts Festival from April 1 - 30, 2021. As part of my participation, I created a video that lasted less than two minutes describing my painting. Here I talked more about the process than the feelings involved. You can watch the video below. It is on the Rockland Arts Festival Youtube channel.

What got cut out of the video is the meaning behind the painting. I use a lot of my representational work as metaphors for my feelings, experiences, and opinions. Evergreen is about our inner strength. It’s about our ability to go through the harshest of times, all the while discovering the inner strength that helps us to make it through.

Featured Art: Soothingness

This week I shared a video explaining what inspired the creation of my painting Soothingness. This time the formatting is just right because I needed to fit both myself and the painting in the screen.
