In addition to the many prints that have been purchased and rented via Artiq clients since I signed with them, a couple of my original paintings have also been rented; The Weight of Grief and The Eternal Nourishment of the Sun.
The Weight of Grief
This piece is about the grief of mother earth, what she has lost, her children… the land, as a species we are hellbent on looking to the cosmos for the answers, and we need to look below, under our feet, to re-member, to get back in sync, with the earth that birthed us.
The Eternal Nourishment of the Sun
This piece reflects my gratitude for the sun and everything it quietly gives us: light, warmth, feeding the plants and crops that sustain us, driving the cycles of weather and growth - making life on our planet possible. Even when we can't see it, the sun is still there, doing its work. That feels comforting to remember when things feel dark. This piece holds the moment when darkness lifts and light breaks through - a visual embodiment of renewal. For me, it reflects the long journey from simply existing with ME, scoliosis, and anxiety, to creating with purpose and self-belief. My shift from tight, controlled work to the fluid, unpredictable nature of alcohol inks has been both a creative and personal liberation. Through this, I have learned to let go, to follow where the medium wants to take me, and to meet each new day with openness rather than expectation. Just as dawn arrives whether we are ready or not, the work reminds me that transformation can be slow, but it always comes.
