Creation Blossoms Out Of Nothing
30”x40” Acrylic on Stretch Canvas
Inspiration cobbles together an idea in the depths of my consciousness and then suddenly a spark ignites. Whether I am surrounded by people or alone in the studio, the moment of creation is instantaneous, a burst, an eruption. This work is in response to a moment standing around a fire with 85 other souls. And in that moment a realization of the power of emotions, the need to set them free, and the depth to which they connect us. I knew that my year would be filled with the exploration of all that was hidden within me and I let that spark expand coming out of the darkness, out of nothing, and into form.
The Wild Collection emerged as a response to the profound impact of emotions. During a retreat in the woods near Boston, alongside 85 women, we unleashed our screams, tears, and rediscovered the power and resilience we had neglected for too long.
For years, I suppressed my sadness and never fully acknowledged the depth of my anger. Nearly ten years ago, as I started painting, those long-buried emotions started to resurface. This collection symbolizes the liberation of my emotions, embracing feelings of frustration, confusion, rage, and desperation. Rather than conceal them, I now channel the energy of these emotions to propel myself forward on this journey. The movement, layers, and colors in these pieces reflect an internal intensity, revealing the profound richness and complexity of our deeply felt emotions.
