Side by side or side by each




I can speak for many of us when I say we all have a special someone in our life. Someone who sees us for who we really are yet gives us space to grow and mature. It is that person who is represented in these doorway images I frequently incorporate in my work. It is intentionally not a portrait but a symbol/gist/likeness of what it may look like to be part of another person – note where I have merged color to connect people together. To love being close and feeling their warmth. Sharing life’s lights and darks, it’s rough and smooth edges, its absolute joys and sorrows. Some of my fans and collectors find all this imbued in my work and let me know through heartfelt notes and emails. When I began making these images I was not aware of how deeply someone else would feel about them. After over 10 years of painting fulltime, I now know that what I create can hit home in ways I never imagined. Thank you for allowing my work to touch your soul and in some cases, heal it.
Lesson learned: Do it anyway.

Thanks for taking a moment to read this Alison! I have not posted in a while no real reason why just feel a bit out of sorts re my art direction. I’m getting a bit of a handle on it in last couple of weeks so I hope fall will find me working on some new pieces based on this post and images. 🙂

I hear you. With the passing of my mother in July, another surgery for Jon in August not even a year after his double spinal fusion. This past year was a wreck, and I lost my ability to write in my typical way. Have in the last few weeks had a couole ofvsentences sound and feel normal, so hoping it’s coming back for both of us. And that September starts a whole new and better year. Be well
