AURA is one of my favorite pieces to date. with this piece i was seeking to create a visual representation of my own aura at the time, the colors i would visualize after a period of months where i really devoted myself to my kundalini practice. i was really interested in the idea of how big i could make my own energy and the question of the 10 bodies—how could i use this energy not only as a protective barrier between me and the rest of the world, but as a way to literally influence the world around me by energetically showing up in a big way. made during a very happy and self-explorative period of my life, this piece radiates positive energy—if you’re into the aura of objects, this is for you.

LOVE STORY! it’s my biggest piece to date and my favorite. i was living in beautiful ojai, california when i made this and was in love and working my way through the newly announced pandemic. from my bedroom window, i would look out each afternoon and see the iconic “pink moment” where the late afternoon sun would hit the topa topa mountains at just the right angle, bathing everything in the most exquisite pink glaze. this piece is truly bursting with love—it’s about learning to love and know yourself just as deeply (or more so) than you love and know others. it’s also a love letter to ojai.

A QUIET PLACE was made when i was taking a break from the noise of my life and deliberately disconnecting—from social media and online life, as well as from the busyness i can find myself enveloped in, bouncing from place to place. it was a time out and a reset, a call to coming back to center and finding the internal validation rather than looking to the external world for meaning and approval. it’s a small, simple piece that renewed my sense of internal peace.

JOUR ET NUIT was inspired by my love of magritte—his playful use of light and shadow. i’ve always loved his work, in part because i have always loved strolling through a neighborhood at dusk, the color changes in the sky as the world settles into night and the lights that illuminate homes. to me it’s a very cozy feeling and always has been—the completion of another day. the piece speaks to a sense of gratitude for the day-to-day, seemingly mundane rhythems of our life, the commonplace things that make our lives so beautiful. the title was inspired by some wanderings around paris at dusk and seeing a sign that read “jour et nuit” (actually about parking!) that made me think of how much i love all the moments of my life. this is a piece that exudes a peaceful, contented calm and a sense of gratitude for the everyday.

RADIANT was about capturing a bright, happy moment of energy—one of those time when everything felt sparkly and glinting with optimism. just like capturing a photo of a joy-filled moment, i like to capture these emotions with paint and paper to bring myself back and re-experience the exuberance. a buoyant, confident little piece made to inspire you to live brightly.

can you tell PARADISE was not made in california? this piece was created in san juan, puerto rico—a place that expanded my sense of color. it’s a swirling, dynamic tribute to the colorful place that is the caribbean and this unique little territory that is both so familiar and so unknown. it’s a complicated, tangled blend of many things—with a dark history of colonization to the vibrancy and bright future of this place.

where it all began! this piece will forever be my favorite. i was just starting to explore pointillism and was traveling between san diego, los angeles and ojai a lot, carrying this paper and my palette with me. this piece is all about capturing the unique light quality of all three places, blended together into one painting. it’s truly a work of love on paper and a love letter to southern california.

a tribute to the miranda july book of the same name, NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN YOU is all about owning your space and shining your light brightly. it’s a sense of inclusion—that there is no one else who is more deserving than you are and that it’s safe to take up space. whenever i’ve felt intimidated or undeserving when walking into a room i like to remind myself of this message.
