I’ve been deeply disturbed by the wars happening overseas, and I keep thinking of the parents there who are desperate to keep their children safe. It makes me feel so privileged to be able to tuck my children into a warm, safe bed at night, their bellies full with a home-cooked meal. It is a luxury to be able to provide these comforts for your children, and to be able to meditate on that fortune feels like a prayer of gratitude. There are a million reasons to paint the most immediate things that inspire you, and for me, it could be none other than my children. The less obvious answer was what my approach to the concept might be. So far, my favorite piece is a 9x12 little painting, Sleeping Child in Red. It is a sweet little rendering of my sleeping son, done with a slap and dash of warm strokes. I use some stencil in the painting which had a nice textural effect. I’m excited to see how the rest of my waiting panels will develop.

The challenge was to provide the winning piece of artwork for the cover of the 2021 literary award winner “The Rabbit” by Coco McCracken. The literary piece was chosen by Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart, Abandon Me, and the National Bestseller, Girlhood. The inspiration for the piece I provided was from an excerpt of The Rabbit, which I found rich in visual imagery. The manuscript felt like a moment from my own youth chasing bands, boys and “coolness”, with an irresistible nod toward 90’s grunge. The image pieced together in my head clearly, and I knew I had to record it, and pursue it. The book will publish this fall and be distributed in the fall of 2023, with my art on the cover! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6001af48b373037c2d7de7aa/ae7c2c3e-e66a-4181-8439-504ee258c68b/IMG_4450.jpeg Blog -
