Indigo Gateway II

Sometimes we need a reminder that there are lovely things in this life. Feelings are short and fleeting. They pass like petals on a river. We can try to gather and hold onto them or we can watch them flow downstream.

This collection is about optimism and hope. It’s about trusting yourself and allowing good to enter your life. I wanted to use soft periwinkle, lavender, indigo, and azure to create an ethereal collection of aurora borealis-inspired paintings. The soft flowing colors represent freedom and joy. Each painting has a layer of silver in intricate symmetrical patterns that reflect the elegance and beauty of a cathedral. I wanted to evoke the beauty of nature and the churches without walls that surround us on this earth. I wanted a contrast between allowing things to flow naturally and something structured and precise. The silver is protective and optimistic. When viewed from the right angle, like any events in our lives, it lights up true and bright. When we search for the good, truly seek it out, we will always find it.
