Tranquil Hideaway | Print of Original Oil Painting
This harbor is home to one of my happy places. A beach and a scene I return to again and again for respite by myself, with friends, or with family. A place I have watched many a sunset, walked the beach up and down, and celebrated occasion after occasion in a nearby restaurant. I have photos spanning decades of anniversary selfies, babies sitting in sand, and kids jumping off docks. To say I love this little corner of the world is an understatement.
And then there is the day I started to finally paint it. A day filled with political turmoil and female indignity. And as I stood there, paintbrush in hand, feeling a helplessness on a level I had not experienced before, a pink house emerged on my canvas. A pink house for the little pink stucco-clad house in Mississippi that was closing and simultaneously representing bravery, devastation and the end of the world as we know it.

There is so much heaviness around us. In the world, in our communities, in our personal lives. It can feel overwhelming, heartbreaking and guilt inducing. I was reflecting on this and working through big emotions while painting the “Hang On” series. The magnitude of emotions keeps lifting off the canvasses and flooding the crevices of every day. There is a collectiveness with everyone Hanging On.
These paintings were an exploration into the experience of processing what it means to work through emotions, experiences and heartache instead of avoiding them. They are made up of many layers and warm tones juxtaposed with cool shades. Hold On is a collection of rich complexion, high contrast, and subdued saturation.
