Out: A New Collection
I haven’t posted for a bit, and I wanted to give a bit of an update on my latest work! It’s a 15-piece collection that I’ve been slowly rolling out to my Collector’s List and at pop-up events.
My Work
My goal is to make unique, soulful, original artwork accessible to all. Through making art affordable, I hope to encourage everyone to curate collections that resonate with them deeply. I view the act of curating a meaningful art collection as important because I believe artwork contributes something uniquely beneficial to our well-being, and everyone deserves to benefit from it.
The Latest Inspiration
This latest collection is called Out. It’s inspired by mid-century modern minimalism, combining warmth with clean lines and timelessness. Some are figurative, while most are abstract, and some live somewhere in between (which I love). They are deeply expressive and come with a fantastically weird story behind the expression.
Storytime:
So I got locked outside. For an entire day. I went out to spray fixative on some art (very smelly - definitely not supposed to inhale), and a large canvas slipped behind the sliding door as I closed it behind me, locking me out without my phone. It was a beautiful day, and thank goodness I stored some of my art supplies out there. So for an entire day, I worried about being trapped outside with the fumes I had sprayed while I sketched and waited for my husband to rescue me.
That’s where the subject matter comes into play. The cigarette? Inspired by breathing in chemicals that I was supposed to flee inside to avoid. The pinecone? It was out there beside me. The abstracts? A mix of frustration and play while outside against my will.
Eventually, my husband came home and freed me. I went inside, watched Sex and the City for emotional healing purposes, and, reunited with the rest of my supplies, added finishing touches to these pieces.
The Artwork Details
Solid oak and walnut frames that are 9 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches, a nod to the outdoor world I was part of while creating them. The frames come ready to hang or prop up on a shelf and come with protective glass over each piece.
Special acid-free mat and backing, preventing any yellowing of the art paper used, perfectly preserving each piece.
Acid-free linen tape to secure each piece to the mat
Hand-signed and made with care from start to finish by me
