Sculptural Zen Paintings

3/31/2021

 
Picture

In short, my father's death expedited my bucket list. I realized in a very personal, very intense sort of way that none of us know how much time we have left, and life could slip away quite unexpectedly at any moment.

As a result, I decided to do some serious soul searching, make a list, and channel all of my energy into accomplishing my life's unique purpose with newfound vigor, focus and intensity.

Creating a series of sculptural paintings is one of those goals.

Peeling back the layers. Seeing deeper into ourselves. Sculptural paintings made with plaster, newspaper and repurposed paint. Each painting is imbued with a mantra for mindfulness.

​BIG. AMAZING. WONDERFUL things are happening at Workshop SLC and I am so happy to be a part of it!

Here is a short story about contrast: 

​Renting an art studio is a big deal. I am extremely cognizant that we become (whether we like it or not!) the people we spend the majority of our time with. ​

​My most challenging commission panting to date! How else are we to grow if we remain within the preconceived boundaries we have created for ourselves? We miss 100% of the shots we don’t take.

Avenues Triptych

3/10/2021

 
Picture

I love creating custom paintings that are in complete harmony with a client's space. These tiny triptychs were made for a gorgeous remodel in one of Salt Lake City's most iconic neighborhoods: The Avenues.

Quite often, I have privy to the space (in all it's beautiful chaos) during the construction/remodel process. I love this! I feel such a huge sense of honor and responsibility to get it right, and contribute my particular hand to a client's home sanctuary.
