ORANGES/SARDINES releasing October 17

This series grew out of a few intertwined inspirations — Frank O’Hara’s poem Why I Am Not a Painter, Matisse’s wild little fruits, and the feeling of friendship that keeps everything moving. O’Hara’s poem reminds me that art isn’t made in isolation; it’s a conversation with friends, mentors, and the world around us.

Then there’s Matisse. I kept noticing how he painted fruit — sometimes distorted, sometimes just a hint of a sphere — yet somehow our brains know exactly what we’re seeing. That magic of perception feels like what art does best: gives us just enough to feel something.

While making this work, I wanted to capture that same sense of connection and lightness. Friendship has a way of lifting the heavy things. These
paintings remind me of that lightness and hopefully bring that spirit to your space.

If you walked into my studio now, you’d see oranges here and there — a bright pop of sunlight and happiness. I hope when you see this series, you feel that same spark — the warmth of community, the ease of friendship, and a sense of hope that enables you to keep on keeping on.

    Your work is really emerging and it’s beautiful to see. I got one for a birthday gift for a friend, and I want to print out some of what you have written about them to save and to pass on to her.

    She looks great in our temporary home! After we hung it up, we decided to unpack all art and books for the year so we could start to feel like “us” again, it was a good day. Now there is a burst of your thinking in our space. Thank
    you!

    I LOVE the painted bag you delivered the painting in!
    And LOVE my bird painting and Queen of Hearts!!! Visitors to my house enjoy seeing your paintings, especially now that I can rotate some by season, like the pumpkin and the nutcracker named Captain Peppermint.Thank you! 

Why look at the surface only when you can look deeper?

I paint to get to know the world better, to look at details and think about them more profoundly. That's where my business name comes from – "profunda" is the medical term for something that is deeper relative to other things in anatomy.
