forward

9 x 11 original acrylic painting on fine art paper. custom framed in a 16 x 20 black frame with white matte board. frame not pictured.

part of the "direction over destination" series, painted in 2022 

"this collection captured my need to take a step forward in the right direction, without focusing on where exactly it may lead in the end. in each painting, I incorporated darker elements and breaking lines that encompassed the fear I felt in taking the wrong step, contrasted with a sage green that reminds me to stay grounded, and a hazy pink that reminds me to let my inner passions to guide me. each piece is named after a direction I needed to take, one that I wasn't sure of before and to be quite honest, still do not always feel so confident. however, I move forward with the resounding faith that each small step I take will put me in the right direction. rather than losing myself in anticipation of the destination, I am able to ease into the joyful flow of the journey."
