The work seems to want to get softer and softer. Whispering to me in the studio rather than speaking loudly. This work brings me to a calm. It was long done before I could call it done. It hung on my studio wall complete. Whispering to other paintings as I continue the work. The subtle and intense detail in the upper left of the painting takes you to another world. The generous amount of space in the work allows the eye to rest and delight in the quiet subtitles.
When I see Hush Wild no.12, I think of wild nature. A progression and changing, growth and death, beyond our control. Hush Wild works speak of embracing the wild, finding beauty in the things we cannot control. Comfort in the act of letting go.
Mother nature within and around me is fluid, rough, and delicate. This work also.

Lush Restraint no.16 was created with ease. Every mark and spill come clear and fluidly passed into the next hue. I began painting with water the initial shape took form. Then I added color. Dark blues and pale greens. Filling splatters with pigment. Pulling color away from other spots. Letting the work dry and rest until I visit it again. Adding depth and value to the work, rough and smooth texture.
This painting depicts my play with control and letting go in the painting process. Letting materials flow and speak while controlling them and making intentional marks.

Hush Wild no.11 reminds me that nothing is permanent. Everything is fluid. It’s a comfort to know that nothing is permanent, Today what is does not mean it will be tomorrow. Things change as the seasons do. As the tide does. Ebb and flow. Inhale and exhale.
It’s the in-between breaths that is easy to miss.

Hush Wild no.14 makes me feel light and bright. It feels so lively and hopeful. Calm and energetic. I love the balance in the work and the focal point of the little lilac dab of paint. I love the upward motion of the work. Pours of paint and flushes almost pulsing in the fibres of the canvas.

The circle shape has always been a controlled container for my spills and stains of color. My attempt at accepting the wild in life. Working on raw cotton has allowed me to stain and drench the canvas and fibres in such beautiful unforgiving ways.
When I see Wombly Wild no.9, I see that play of holding tight and letting go. Colors collide in unexpected ways. Pigments break free in swirls and splashes. Subtle and energetic calm radiating out of the work.
Nature and its flow, in and around me are my muse.

My process, like myself, is soft, receptive, and fluid. These are some of my strongest assets.
If womanhood and painting have taught me anything it is to go with the fucking flow.
I do my best, with the sphere of influence that I have. The rest is out of my control.
I hope you and I can find strength in the softness and comfort in letting go.
Hush Wild no.3 set the tone for this collection. I quite soon found I loved where she was going and knew I wanted to use light and flowy nature in works going forward.
The two stretching sides almost connect and join heading upwards. Airy spores of light green show up scattered on the canvas. One larger glob of Rusht Red oil paint hovers close to the left edge looking to jump out. The works in this collection all have beautiful easy washes of paint as well as carefully blended and scattered dollops of pigment.

When I see Hush Wild no.4, I think Hokusai’s Great Wave. I think nature within and around me both inspiring and frustrating. Wild nature. Beyond our control. Hush Wild no.4 speaks of embracing the wild, finding beauty in the things we cannot control. Comfort in the act of letting go.
Mother nature within and around me is fluid, rough, and delicate. This work also.

Hush Wild no.7 has a demanding whisper to let go,
accept flow.
To know that nothing is permanent and everything is fluid.
The colors speak of pink softness, reds of earth and womb, almost black blues like the dark night, and pale greens hinting at aurora.
My great strength is in my nature, in my feminine softness and flow. No strong arming here, just empathy, expansion, and powerful surges of soft energy flowing from me.
I haven’t always been grateful to be a woman in life. It has felt like more of an obstacle than a part of me to celebrate. This work is changing me. Teaching me, I am woman. Proud to be Soft AF!

When I see Wombly Wild no.7, I see that play of holding tight and letting go. This work has a distinctly etherial feeling about it so fluid. There is the faintest hint at the circle, but being mostly ignored by the flow of color and texture.
Nature and its flow, in and around me are my muse.

Lush Restraint no.12 and 13 are such ethereal works. They are layered like an abstract space-scape. Lush Restraint no.13 has the georgeous rush of red on the left side with a tiny little pale green blob in the deep sea of Petroliam Blue. The marks and washes are soft and flowy. Pale pink is scientifically the most calming color. This piece has a peaceful and calm, adventure within it.

When I see Wombly Wild no.6, I see that play of holding tight and letting go. This is what the painting process, especially with fluid materials and action painting: quick improvised automated painting, helps me to release control.
Nature and its flow, in and around me are my muse.

This work Lush Restraint no.14 is lively life captured still. The dark blues, greys, greens and pinks flow upward off the canvas. Hinting at hope and movement. Scribbles, splashes, and sprinkles of pigment making beautiful layers on the natural cotton canvas.
This work let me know again that the darks are so rich and needed. Contrasts in life and art needed to be appreciative and see differences. What good is the summer without the winter, the light without the dark. This wonderful and wild life has us flowing through it. Lush Restraint no.14 has us knowing there is beauty in the flow, knowing so much is out of our hands, there is beauty in the letting go.

Lush Restraint no.11 reminds me to let go. It is beautifully fluid and wild. My process uses several materials. Inks, oils, acrylics, raw pigments, spray, pools and splashes of water. I soak and stain the raw cotton, scribble and dollop paint and pigments onto the fibres. The quiet flying shape on the top left side reminds me of upward motion, change, release. Lush Restraint no.11 work with all its contrast gives me hope.
A recent collector said my work is an ever changing picture in their home. They mentioned their appreciation of the movement and stillness in my work. I love noticing this in my work. The reminder to be moving but at times stop, rest.

Some works, I begin them with a bit of a plan and idea. Lush Restraint works start with no plan. No shape or idea of where the work is going. This work, Lush Restraint no.10 kept asking for the dark darks and light lights. Layers and textures, minerals, and mountains. It asked for connection and disconnect. It surprised me every visit. It still does.
I love the light lights encroaching into the darks the pinks swimming in deep blues.

Hush Wild no.5 connects me to ancient times. I was lost in the layers while making the work. Adding a quick brush gesture of white in the right bottom corner before bleeding into it with the dark dark blue. My process is intuitive, spontaneous, both loose at times and other time meticulous and built up.
Humans had long been making art before we ever began planting and practicing agriculture. We made art before we were this type of human, homo-sapien. Isn't that wild to think about. No wonder I feel most me at the canvas, pushing the pigment around on the raw cotton. Making my mark. My mind and heart flowing out of my hand and brush. Flow.
This week's work is Hush Wild no.5 whispers of earth, of layers, being part of a long history long before me. One with the dirt.
