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.

What emotions arise from the contrast of colors in this artwork? This piece suggests a transition between day and night, with shades of blue and green blending like twilight into dawn. Each section seems to interact with neighboring tones, flowing from one to the next. The textured surfaces create depth, inviting viewers into a rich visual experience. As we observe these elements, we recognize echoes of timeless themes—contrast, unity, and the changing nature of existence. This artwork enhances a space with its engaging colors while also connecting us to our own perceptions, reminding us of the beauty in diversity and connection.
