Exposure Therapy

A solo exhibition observing our ability to adapt alongside chaos -- we drop in, out of necessity, and meet ourselves on the other side. These paintings are milestones of change, a collection of learnings and reminders for others dropping into the unknown circumstances of their lives.

This show marks a turning point in my work. For years I've stood at the easel for hours on end creating intricate depictions of snapshot moments -- a specific splash or moment in time. Massive life changes have pushed me in a more wiley direction -- wild, free flowing acrylic washes on raw canvas. I've adapted, leaned into a side of my art that is more aligned. I can see the through lines in early work, it feels natural, and it's honestly just magic to fully drop into this style of painting. The title Exposure Therapy hints at big circumstances, forcing yourself to overcome the fear, adapt, and come out the other side. These paintings are milestones of change, learnings from a pivotal times in one's life. They are wishes and reminders for others dropping into the unknown circumstances of their lives.
