Intuitive Abstract Art

Some Things Are Better Felt Than Explained.

Sometimes you know exactly how you feel but have no idea how to describe it — like a song that puts you back in a particular room, remembering a relationship that changed the trajectory of your life, or the version of yourself you are finally becoming after a significant job or relationship ends. Maybe it’s how you felt after a move, a loss, or whatever came along and rearranged you.

These are the things I like to paint.

How an Intuitive Painting Begins

  1. 01

    Tell Me What Matters.

    You might come to me with your wedding song, a playlist you have listened to a thousand times, a relationship that changed you, the loss of a loved one, a new job, a favorite poem or photograph, or an idea for the life you want to build.

    These ideas become color, texture, and form.

  2. 02

    We Talk About The Feelings.

    I’ll ask questions. Some will be practical, like the size of the painting, where it will live, and whether there are colors you love or absolutely cannot stand.

Commission

Art Your Playlist

Music has always looked like color to me.

Since I was a young girl, I have been able to close my eyes while listening to a song and see color moving through it. A song might begin turquoise, melt into orange and pink, and then suddenly a dark navy bursts in. Another might feel almost entirely green until one stanza changes everything.

Commission Something Personal

A commission can begin with someone you love, someone you lost, a relationship you are still trying to understand, or a version of yourself you want to remember.

It can begin with a dream, a place, or simply a feeling you want to hold onto.

That’s all you need to start.

TEN

Ten Relationships. Ten Paintings. Ten-Song Playlists. Ten Essays About What I Learned.

We are changed by what we love.

We are changed by what leaves, what we lose, and what brings us joy.

Relationships have a way of rearranging us.

The TEN Series is my interpretation of love, loss, joy, and grief.

This is my most vulnerable body of work. In some ways, it has become an autobiography.

Painting Found Me When I Got Sick.

At the end of 2016, I got really sick.

By mid January 2017, I was mostly bedridden and felt I had two choices: I could sit around and binge Netflix, or I could teach myself something new.

A few weeks earlier, at Christmas, my two-year-old niece had handed me a paintbrush. When I took it from her, I felt a jolt of energy travel up my arm. It was memorable enough that when I started thinking about what I might teach myself, painting was the first thing that came to mind.

I started watching abstract painting techniques on YouTube and decided to try it all: colored pencils, acrylic paints, fluid paints, watercolor, crayons.

I taught myself by making often very terrible things.

Painting gave me a new way to metabolize life.

What Matters To You?

Maybe there is a song you have loved for twenty years.

Maybe somebody changed your life, and you have never quite known what to do with everything that relationship meant.

Maybe you are standing at the beginning of something new and want a piece of art that reminds you what you hoped for when you started.

Tell me about it.

Turn what matters into art you can see, feel, and hold close.
