Statement
With this collection of oil on linen works, I am painting about the journey of radical self-compassion. It is a fierce rebellion, I consider it pretty punk rock, to stay in your joy when blanketed in seemingly depressing circumstances. With this body of work I am responding to my personal puzzles with the aim of inspiring you to greet your challenges with curiosity. My paintings serve as a visual respite for joyful rebellion in the face of obstacles.
I see my role as a joymaker as needing to comb through everything in my purview, with my Harriet the Spy-style detective magnifying glass, to collect sparks of positive visual experiences. In my artistic process with this series I am seeking out visual notes of enthusiasm, identifying them, focusing on them, and sharing my discoveries. The collection title Emotional Support Paintings acknowledges the need for uplifting support in this moment in America and beyond. My paintings aim to meet the current moment of problem-solving by tapping into a charming, playful and magical energy.
In order to overcome our shared challenges (and we have some big ones mmkay), we have to become joymakers first, before any other title. It is crucial to be vibrant and visible when doing this work. So I implore you to go down the rabbit hole of following your curiosities. Unlock the video game-style level-up moments within yourself and find delight in where the path takes you. Enjoy having your own, "Rocky-the-Champ," moment when facing your hurdles and growing your capacity for inner peace despite them. It’s crucial work, and it’s crucial we do this together now. Like omg right now.
