Intimate Silence

4-6 PM

In my recent newest work I created a series of hand monoprints figurative paintings using inks, and oil paint mix media. Personal pieces based on Intimate Silence, which involves our connection to nature. In our Intimate moments let us silence ourselves and deeply connect with our inner being. Disperse what no longer serves us allowing nature to guide us, to be held by its gentle whispers of answers we seek, the joy and peace. When we fully open our hearts we welcome nature in, and we’re both bonded in the same frequency.

I’ve drawn my whole life, My world would crumble if I didn’t have paper to draw on. When I was little, I’d sneak into my mother’s bedroom and take her nail polish and eyeliner. They were my earliest art materials – but she wasn’t too happy about that! The day my mother bought me a box of crayons and paper, I remember how happy I felt. Making Art soon became the way I created a world all for myself.

When I create, I explore the deepest, most vulnerable parts of me. When my five-year-old self takes over, that’s when we have fun. I trust her, and she guides my process. She knows what to do – even though she’s a wild card! It’s different every time, and she keeps my imagination alive. We create new worlds and safe spaces for our most tender emotions.
