Inspired by a summer bouquet I picked up on a whim one day at a local farm stand, it was a colorful and whimsical array of blossoms. One of my favorite summer jobs when I was in college was delivering flowers for a local florist. Flowers bring so much joy and comfort, hence, why I titled this one “Thinking of You”.

This was my fourth finger painting in a coastal study, painted “poolside” at my parents’ home in Duxbury, MA. While my kids swam and splashed, I imagined the range and intensity of colors in the sky as the sun rises over the ocean on the East Coast.

I sat with a friend for a while at Mill Pond Park on a beautiful spring day, and we painted together. It’s amazing how changing up your creative environment can affect your art. It was also a bit challenging, not getting blown around by the wind and breezes.

Isn’t it weird and a little sad that as we grow older, things like fingerpainting become too messy to enjoy? I wanted to work backwards and get back to that childhood joy of sweeping paint across a piece of paper with my fingers, making messy dabs and smears. I decided to give it a try, to challenge myself a bit to get away from the brushstroke style I had been creating with for a while.

“You do not find a happy life. You make it.” I heard this quote in a podcast, and it stuck with me while painting this piece. We can search and wait for happiness, or we can do something each day to welcome happiness in. Do more of what makes you happy. It sounds simple, right? But each day, we have the opportunity to choose how to use our time, even a small amount of it, to pursue our own personal happiness.

“Creative living is any life that you live where your decisions are based more strongly on your curiosity than your fear. And if you consistently, habitually, routinely, at every intersection and decision in your life, make decisions that are based on curiosity rather than fear, then you will be engaging with creativity. Your life itself will become a sort of work of art, if you can consistently live that way.” - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic & Eat, Pray Love

Aster is a flower named for the Greek word for star, symbolizing love, wisdom, and hope. I painted this on a day that typically brings me some sadness, to bring some light into the day.
Excerpt from “A Late Walk”, by Robert Frost
…I end not far from my going forth
By picking the faded blue
Of the last remaining aster flower
To carry again to you.

This piece is inspired by waves of grief, the journey I’ve been on since 2018, and the various levels of collective grief we have felt day after day since the beginning of Covid.

Inspired by a photograph taken at the shoreline in Madison, and the dusk hour made the sand, shells and rocks glow this warm, magical pink color.
A theme of my art is including metallic gold in many of my pieces. I love the flicker of shine you get at various angles, and on a more personal level, it’s my nod to the art of kintsugi.
Kitsugi (translates to “golden joinery”) is “the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum…As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.” (Wikipedia)
When I learned about this art form, it was shortly after experiencing my pregnancy loss, and I felt connected to the idea immediately. Though I’m not mending pottery myself, the use of gold paint in my art signifies healing, repair, embracing imperfections, and shedding light on my “broken pieces” that are part of what makes me a whole person.

After reading “Where the Crawdads Sing”, I made this piece, thinking of the setting of the marshes and the part the tides played in the progress of the story. My father is a fisherman, and when I was younger, we had a fishing store and would spend evenings going to the beach and marshes to go fishing or digging for clams. The story reminded me of so many memories and feelings of smelling the low tide, the salty air, and feeling my hands in the water, sand or mud.
