2024, Acrylic, spray paint, pastel on linen canvas, 36 x 48 x 1.5”. Eclipse is gallery wrapped with painted sides for a complete finish. Painting is signed and titled on the back.

Eclipse was created during the 2024 total solar eclipse. While it was visible along a narrow track stretching from Texas to Maine, here in Landenberg, PA I was able to view a partial eclipse. The energy and excitement around this phenomenon occurred as I was healing from intense treatment for a diagnosis and was considering how to navigate the balance between dark and light, rest and restoration while keeping my head in a healthy place.

Cascading fragmented patterns, gestural marks and assorted textures are part of my visual vocabulary to capture an internal and somatic landscape of our experiences. The layered textures and patterns unfurl as a tribute: an intention to excavate grace and beauty in our ephemeral lives.
