“Unfurling Fists” 6×6, oil on canvas, Framed An Unfurling Fist “What is a blossom anyway but a fist saying I can’t do this anymore.” — Joseph Fasano Earlier this month, I was in my brother’s kitchen. He had just served me the most incredible sourdough pizza I’ve ever had. I don’t know how or why […]
“Be Where I Am” 6×6, oil on panel, framed “Look closely at the present you are constructing: it should look like the future you are dreaming.”— Alice Walker I do this thing a lot—I try to hurry the present moment along so I can get to whatever end goal it seems to exist for. I […]
“Just Showing Up” 8×8, oil on canvas, framed Last night was the opening of an art exhibition I’ve been working toward for quite some time. I’m so used to handling every detail of a show at my own gallery—installation, refreshments, logistics—that it was humbling to experience what it’s like to be cared for in someone […]
“About Suffering” 8×8, oil on canvas, framed I first read W. H. Auden’s poem “Musée des Beaux Arts” as a teenager—or maybe in my early twenties. It’s one of those foundational texts for me, the kind that resurfaces again and again over the years, often unexpectedly, but almost always in the presence of tragedy—both personal […]
“Precious, Pointless” 6×6, oil on canvas, framed I created this painting right before I noticed a box in the garage labeled “farm girl flowers”—which I immediately knew could only mean one thing. My best friend had sent me the best flowers. Inside were perfectly unopened peonies—little pink bulbs, holding their breath, saving all their blessed […]
“Let Your Music Play” 4×4, oil on canvas, framed This is a painting of St. Cecilia, patron saint of musicians. But the story of how she found her way onto this tiny canvas is a longer, more winding one—mostly not mine to tell, so I’ll try to stay in my lane. My husband Kelly, as […]
“The Wild Life” 4×4, oil on canvas, framed A few months ago, the New Orleans gallery I signed with asked if I could do my solo show in January. I knew it would be a lot—paired with the 31 in 31—but it was an opportunity I couldn’t resist. I also knew that if the show […]
“Walk on Water”, 4×4 oil on canvas, framed Last 31 in 31, I made a small painting and wrote a poem titled Audacity that began with this line: “What if instead of eggshells, I walked on water?” It’s been a full year, and I’m here to report that although I hoped it might be prophetic, […]
“Still New Here”, 8×8 oil on canvas, framed I recently did a small experiment. I went for a walk in my neighborhood—the same walk I’ve been taking for almost five years now. Only this time, I pretended I was new here. Not just new to this particular piece of earth I call home, but new […]
