To Be Read
$690.00
‘To Be Read’ addresses how we find identity through the objects that surround us. It is a documentation of my bookshelf. The painting centers around the books I was reading at the time, or wanted to read. Other small objects of importance make their way into the scene, such as the Pothos plant and the prayer card of the Mother Mary.
As an artist, I paint from observation. I paint playfully, using color as light, and I pay attention to how light changes through various scenes. I enjoy using bright, bold colors to capture a sense of vitality. I paint both still lives and interior scenes that focus on the rituals and beauty found in daily life. These paintings act as a documentation of moments that take place during my days. Time connects to my paintings, showing the way that time can stand still for an instant, or how separate moments can blur together as one. I use intimate portraits of daily life to comment on the human experience and create an intimacy between the viewer and the subject.
