Acrylic & oil stick on raw canvas, 2025
Indian Summer is a series of ten paintings born from a moment of surrender — a quiet reckoning with what it means to bloom in one’s own time. Rooted in the warmth of marigold oranges and yellows, colors largely absent from my previous work, this collection marks a new chromatic and emotional chapter.
The works are painted in acrylic on raw canvas, a process inspired by Helen Frankenthaler’s staining technique, allowing pigment to sink into the unprimed surface and become one with it. From there, I depart — building compositions further through dry brushwork and oil stick marks that add dimension, texture, and a sense of accumulated time. The result is paintings that feel both absorbed and alive.
The series came together before a trip to India, yet it was during that journey that its meaning fully arrived. While traveling, I received an invitation to participate in a group show in Europe — a moment that felt less like coincidence and more like confirmation. It was as though the work had already known what I was only beginning to trust: that it was time to let go, to believe in the process, and to catch up to a future that had quietly been waiting.
These are intuitive, soft paintings. The colors breathe into one another, subtle yet vibrating with energy. They are an invitation to inhabit a world where trust replaces urgency, and where late blooming is not a delay — but the whole point.
I have been making art since childhood and have worked as a full-time artist for nearly four years. My practice is driven by a desire to create worlds — places where color, mark, and feeling become their own kind of landscape.
