mind like sky
the story,
Each piece was created through intentional practice. Working outside my comfort zone, I explored new scales, a challenging (for me) subject, and a new way of moving—painting primarily with my non-dominant hand.
This slowed everything down and asked for deeper presence. With every inhale I tuned into spaciousness. With every exhale I eased into stillness. Each brushstroke one breath: steady, aware, centered.
Working this way, I was reminded that the mind, like the sky, is always capable of opening wider. I felt my awareness expanding, letting each brushstroke carry a deeper understanding of clarity.
Time stoped and breath became more than itself;
is there a word for the ebullient feeling in one’s chest while chasing a tide? Or the smell that is not the sea, or the sand, or the salty wind, but all three mixed together? Or discovering a new kind of light?
allowing calm precision to lead the hand and curiosity to guide the eye produced a collection filled with resolute whimsy and expressions of pure wonder,
​
sky-scapes woven from sumptuous textures, playful movement, and the quiet clarity of focused attention.​
These are not just paintings, they are visual evidence of making as meditation.
Hanging one of these creations in your space will saturate your environment with a gently soft, peaceful, clarity, and will gently invite you, over and over again, to return to your own vastness.
