CONTINUOUS SUPPORT

About the 2021 Collection

 

Continuous Support

My current collection revolves around relationships; connecting and building upon my first collection of paintings. Family and community are the most important aspects in my life and are reflected and highlighted in this body of work.

Having the continuous and genuine support of my family and friends helps me get through every single day as well as look forward to the next. This support gives me the confidence to follow my passion and dreams. It allows me to show the world who I am and what I want to be through my art.

Maintaining connections with those who we consider family is, in my opinion, the key to living a full life. Like some of the lines in these paintings, there may be times where the line of communication is paused, but this does not mean it is lost. The line continues to develop knowing that in time the connection will reappear as strong as ever. A bond is not defined by how often we see someone, but by mutual support and understanding. 

Surrounding yourself with open minded and encouraging people can uplift your spirit and help you achieve things you never thought you could. For me, that is a career as an artist. These paintings represent the closeness and connection I have to those I love.

The faces, one under another, show the strong support system of a relationship. Over time strong foundations can help you reach new heights and see yourself in a whole new way. One of the meanings behind the flower eyes is seeing yourself as your loved ones see you.

I am eager to continue creating more art and stronger relationships.
