“In creating this piece, I selected gentle blues and warm earth tones from my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #8, capturing a sense of both serenity and strength. By layering delicate brushstrokes alongside splatters and drips, I aimed to create a dynamic yet gentle movement that flows naturally across the canvas. The contrasts and subtle transitions reflect the quiet give-and-take we experience in life, where each color and shape quietly leans on the other for support.”
