This year is a pivotal one in my life - I turn 50 years old this month (gasp!) and it feels like an important time to reflect, to look back at every year, month, experience, moment, choice that has ushered me to this NOW. This is also a transitionary body of work as I take a different approach to creating. In a way, my new working strategy still mirrors my older angst-ridden process; I still dwell on the repeated application of paint and mark-making BUT it feels more raw and honest and scary. I am no longer obliterating past layers but leaving the brushstrokes and marks exposed in a bolder presentation.
Manifesting from these two events, this series truly reverberates my life experience: joyful, happy, stressful, blurry, reckless, shameful, awe-inspiring, miraculous (you get the idea)…. My hope is that viewers feel inspired to investigate and reflect on their own personal histories as they experience this work.
