”This piece has been with me for over 4 years now and I haven’t been ready to part with her until now. I painted over an old canvas in a moment of darkness in my life. A moment when it felt like the lights suddenly went out and I couldn’t seem to move even one step in front of me. A moment of so much pain the only way I was able to continue was to try and get angry. At least anger was an emotion I could activate. Grabbing my black paint I decided to see what pent up emotion I could let out on canvas. She sat with me through three moves to new homes and many little additions of emotion and depth. It was a challenge creating depth and interest with one solid color palette and incorporates many mediums as a result. When I felt something too big to explain, she held those spills and brush strokes. Today, I feel my light is slowly being turned on. Each day things seem a little clearer and a little less scary, but I’m thankful for that time and the beauty of trust it was teaching me. I wasn’t sure I would ever part with this painting and I can’t really tell you why I feel like it’s time, but I just feel ready to part with her.”
