This piece is from the “Shift Series” of small acrylic paintings which began as a necessary decision to “shift” the direction and scale of my work, while recovering from a serious back injury.  Each painting comes from a place of deep, raw emotions, awareness and attention to a space for repose, contemplation and remembrance.

How do the smooth gradients in this artwork stir your imagination? This piece expertly employs rich layers of color, transitioning from deep purples to gentle earth tones. The contrast of hues engages viewers, inviting them to explore the subtle shifts in shade and texture. The artist's nuanced technique of layering and water blending results in a captivating movement across the surface. Notice the gentle variation as colors blend and diverge, suggesting depth and perspective. As you observe this piece, consider how the choices in texture and color might influence your perception and emotion. What stories or feelings might these hues convey to you?
