 Celestial Grounding (2026)
60” x 72” | Mixed media on canvas There are moments when heaven and earth feel perfectly aligned — when the body rests in deep surrender and the painting above holds both sky and soil. This piece was created in that same spirit: layers of iron-rich Utah dirt, plaster, and luminous gold pigment, baked under the desert sun until the surface cracked open with light. A visual reminder that true grounding often comes from allowing ourselves to be held between the celestial and the earthly. In stillness, we remember.  These paintings are offerings — born from deep time in the studio and a desire to share beauty, grounding, and quiet transformation with you.
Earthy yet luminous, each piece carries the memory of place: layered with iron-rich Utah dirt, salt, plaster, and gold pigment, then baked under the desert sun. They speak of rupture and renewal, pressure and radiance, the ongoing alchemy of becoming. I hope they resonate with you.  A special gift for a friend opening a new padel club — turning functional sports gear into sculptural art.
The paddle is layered with iron-rich Utah dirt, Great Salt Lake salt, foraged sawdust, refurbished paint, and gold pigment. Baked in the intense Utah sun, it developed beautiful natural cracks and fissures. Rope fills the paddle holes, with some strands emerging organically for a striking tactile effect. The tennis ball carries rich Utah red dirt embedded in plaster and paint, finished with gold. Together they celebrate the alchemy of everyday objects — where pressure, time, and material memory create beauty from the ordinary. Grateful to Gallery MAR for helping bring this to life. |
