Wesley Village Art Panels

Had the unique and exciting opportunity to create an 18-foot painting for the Wesley Village lobby with my friends at CU Interiors. This was such an incredible learning experience, working abstractly and with a new medium, and on an intimidating scale - phew! This design was inspired by the sidewalks and the train tracks of this historic streetcar neighborhood - connecting the city of Charlotte with the beautiful tree lined neighborhood streets of Wesley Heights.

50 Paintings

50 paintings in 5 months. 50 little glimpses into 50 particular spaces that I considered and spent time with before wrapping them up and delivering them to 50 kind shareholders. So grateful.

This has been an incredibly special experience. I have learned so much - many lessons I am only beginning to process. But one thing I know for sure is that participating in this program will be a pivotal point in my work. Thank you all who support this program and the arts as a whole!

Community Supported Art

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!

Today we welcome the new month, and I celebrate being selected as one of the nine 2017 CSA artists! I am honored to be a part of this Arts & Science Council program, for which I will be commissioned to produce 50 small paintings this coming Spring. I applied for this grant with the hope it will provide all the incentive I need to find time in the studio, developing my work and moving it in new directions. I am thrilled, and excited to see where it leads!

I did not waste any time ordering materials, and promptly bought the online store out of 10" square panels. But perhaps only receiving half my order was a blessing in disguise - 24 small paintings seems like the perfect amount to start with. I intend to work on them together as much as my small studio will allow, with the hope they will grow together.
