“She Tossed an Umbrella in her Drink” is an 8x10 inch floral abstract acrylic painting (with charcoal in the layering) on cradled wood panel with a 1.5” depth off the wall.

The sides have been hand-stained in a warm cinnamon/walnut tone for a sleek contemporary presentation. The piece has been wired ready to hang. Gloss varnished for protection from dust and UV rays. Complimentary shipping.

My latest abstract pieces explore what it feels like inside my brain while living and coping with depression and anxiety. It isn’t always just black and bleak. It is complicated and full of color, confusion, decay, growth, and beauty. There is optimism, light, and energy. There is fear, desperation and stress. There is dismay, chatter, loneliness and overwhelm and it all exists together in a sort of murky soup. (for lack of a better word). 

I create a tangle of color, shape and line to convey this confusion of life and decay to the viewer in a relatable way. Surprisingly, the end result is something I hope to be “pretty” and interesting to look at. To be relatable and delightful despite having a morbid undercurrent. Like it has a hidden secret there in plain view…a secret shared between artist and viewer. What we see on the surface isn’t always the end of the story; it’s just the very beginning.
