24” x 30” | Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas | High-Gloss Finish
The Colors That Carried Me was created during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. My husband was still experiencing seizures, and the uncertainty, fear, and unanswered questions felt incredibly heavy.
During that time, I kept reaching for color. Teal, turquoise, magenta, purple, bronze, and gold lifted my spirit and gave me somewhere beautiful to focus when life felt anything but beautiful. Painting became a place where I could breathe, find relief, and experience little moments of joy.
I used breathwork and gravity to guide the paint, allowing it to move and surprise me rather than trying to control every detail. And out of that process came this big, beautiful bloom!
Its center isn't perfectly aligned, and neither did my life feel perfectly centered back then. But the beauty came anyway.
For me, this painting is a reminder that even when we can't change what we're going through, beauty, creativity, and God can still carry us through it. 💗
