This edition of my Horizon series was inspired by the rapidly changing hues of the sky and bay as summer storms rolled in and away, using a limited but vivid color palette in Pthalo and mineral blue.

New additions to my Mindful series. This set was inspired by the beautiful summer sunsets over the water outside my home. The horizon line is grounding, centering. No matter where your thoughts were a few moments ago, coming back to the horizon quiets the mind.

Ink is a series of minimal, abstract gestural line paintings in black over neutral clay, taupe and white surfaces. Each piece was painted separately and spontaneously, and reflects the different moods, feelings and thoughts of the day. However, they also also pair and work together as a collection. I like these grouped in sets of 2 or 3 with a black frame, or as a large or small solo piece with simple styling.

The fifth set in my Glyph series of twenty 12 x 12 square, textured abstract acrylic paintings created in 2015 through 2016, exploring memory.
I was thinking about two things when making these paintings.
First, the ephemeral quality of memory. It slides in some places and sticks in others. As the memory ages, it mutates and becomes subjective and infused with how we feel about it.
Second, the human need to share our memories and pass those narratives along. Fully accurate or not, we share our memories with others.
I wanted to make some paintings that could be intermixed and rearranged to tell old and new stories in a way that preserved them—as if they had been written—but still reflected the transient things they are. The paintings contrast high texture with thin layers of translucent paint. To create mutability, each of the white designs were developed arbitrarily and by chance—I dropped a fabric cord from a height and it created a design that was then used to guide the remaining direction of the painting.
Some are dynamic, full of life. Others quiet, reflective or resolved. Grouped together, perhaps a sort of story.

This fall, I’ll be sharing some of my “Glyph” paintings, a series of 20 textured abstract acrylic paintings exploring the ephemeral qualities of memory. This is the first set in the sequence. I’ll be adding a little more information on what inspired them and how I made them in the final post. Stay tuned!
