“If the only prayer you ever say is 'thank you', that is enough.” - Eckhart
This collection of work can best be described as a meditation of gratitude on paper. As a mixed media artist, I generally work on a variety of robust surfaces. After a busy year of travels, adventures and home projects, I felt the need to pare down my process for this show. I decided to do the entire body of work on paper. I was genuinely curious to see how far I could push myself with this material, and it was an absolute blast! Paper is a resilient and versatile material to engage with. As I created these pieces, I celebrated the many things I am grateful for. I reflected often on how there are so many important paper documents that can make up a life: a birth certificate, a passport, a marriage certificate, love letters, birthday cards, etc. I have enjoyed expressing myself with this medium, and I hope you also find beauty in both its fragility and strength. We have much to be grateful for, if only we would take the time to think on it. It's all CRAZY WONDERFUL.
