Idle is a series derived from optimisim, passion and being fueled with creative thoughts ready to be brought to fruition. Insprired by the minimilism art movment and hard-edge painting.

Part one of the series depicts blue figures sitting on top a mountain of geometric shapes. Shapes symbolic of the mind and its many complexities, and aspects. The blue people reflecting us, our human self and what we look like when we're in deep thought.

"Me & My Shadow"11x14in. Acrylic on canvas. 2023

Completed in November of 2023, Me And My Shadow reflects the process of intergration of the "shadow self", whilst still maintaining my youthful girlhood as a woman in her 20s.

Me And My Shadow was inspired through wanting to create a unique and bold way of depicting a young city woman in her own space. Keeping orange and blue as my palette and painting her without the details of hair and a face, accompanied by an intruiging shadow behind her. Making it a simplistic and colorful statement piece.

"Apartment" 20x16in. Acrylic on canvas. 2021

Apartment
completed in 2021 is inspired by the feelings of intimacy and solitude in one's self that you get from enjoying your own space during the night time. Whether it be from a long day at work or a long outing. A simple interior and scenary with colorful yet calm colors.

This is one of my favorite pieces because of the personal symbols in it that depicts aspects of myself. The woman being very comfortable in her own skin. The cat to the far left, the sneakers, the wine. The vinyl record and the color of the night sky, all together being a very feminine piece.
