Laying in perfect darkness, falling into sleep, your voice sounds far away, and I hear you say the most beautiful thing. “There are some places in Maine they don’t even bother to name.”

“Watching the snow fall. Feeling the wind press against your truck. Listening to you talk.”

“Driving me home, you don’t mind that I stopped listening a while ago. You keep talking, though. Quietly weaving your stories into my daydream.”

Experimenting with freeing my paintings from their binding. Text in bottom left corner reads, “So many strangers. Crowded, quiet, cold.”

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of attendees and kind reactions to my five travel journals on display at the ArtPrize festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was not easy to ship these artworks half-way across the country for display, but it feels worth it now. Thank you, Grand Rapids, for being so courteous and kind with my hands-on paintings.
