Anticipation is a self-curated exhibition of 11 original paintings [six oils; four oils/acrylics; and one acrylic] made over the course of 2024 through the process of intuitive art.
I believe in finding my creative voice by trusting in my mind and body. My growth as an artist occurred when I began leaning into my creativity and stopped analyzing it. The process of art, just like life, is a temporary one. Any perceived mistakes I make on the canvas are only held for however long I fixate on them. I approach the blank canvas empty. I leave all preconceived notions of creative ideas, compositions, and visuals behind and I just paint. I let my body guide my movements. This is the closest I have come to understanding being in the moment. It is not a linear process. It is not perfect. I fumble, I need reminders and practice. This exhibit is an emotive exploratory process of my journey to the now - reflective of the big, the small, and everything in between.

While I make my artwork from my own unique perspective and hope to share stories connected to my own vulnerability, I hope that people will also take an introspective vantage point. My artwork is meant to be emotive in nature and connect people’s own stories and experiences together. This exhibition tells a story of the struggle, need, and realization to be present in the moment through motherhood, disability, caregiving, and an innate propensity to dream.
