Announcing: New Fall 2024 Series
A new painting series inspired by personal histories, single use plastics, and snowscapes
Fall Series Soft Launching September 24
While creating my Indigo spring series, I laid garbage bags on the ground to protect my studio floors. These garbage bags recorded each spill of paint, every experiment from paintings that made it into The Narrow Road to the Deep North series and the ones that didn’t.
The trash bags protected the floor as intended and — unexpectedly — transferred themselves onto the back of some of my paintings. I found this to be a rather poetic metaphor for the hidden systems of support propping up our lives, a metaphor for how ideas spread from one body to the other, a metaphor for the histories we all carry behind our surface. Though I explored widely this summer with materials, colors, and techniques, I knew then my next series would explore this accidental discovery. This series tells the story of what we value and what we discard. It tells the story of my personal history and artistic discovery. It exposes what often stays hidden.
My upcoming series of eight paintings, titled Snow Drift, is soft launching on my website on September 24 at 10 am ET. Subscribers (you!) will have early access to the site on the 24th to view and collect one-of-a-kind pieces. The series will include small paintings for affordable yet original work and my largest painting to date, measuring 67 inches by 65 inches.
I will send an email on September 24th with a password to enter the site for early access. The site with the new series opens to the public on September 26th, so if you see something you like, don’t delay 💙
1%
I started my business with a 1% donation policy. Last year I gave 1% of my income to the Clean Air Task Force to help offset the environmental costs of making and shipping physical products. This year I am giving that money to Anera, which provides emergency relief in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan through meals, medical supplies, and health clinics. All sales this year support Anera's efforts.
New Limited Edition Objects Collection
In addition to the September 24th painting launch for October, November, and December this year, I am trying something new: offering limited edition handmade objects. There will be a different object available in a limited edition each month. The object for October will be hand-embroidered dad hats of one of my contour drawings. Only 50 will be made. Preorder through my website starting September 24th and check back in November for a new handmade limited edition object.
See you again with the password to enter the site on September 24 at 10 am E.T.
As always, thanks for being here,
