Paint Your Portrait.

Newest Completed Original Abstractions
I’m always trying to capture these little moments of stillness in the day and also in life.
The visual composition for this piece came from tying to visualize the feeling of stillness, if I close my eyes and think about it enough I can almost feel a butterfly land on me, but as soon as I open my eyes, it’s flown off.
“Present”
9x12 acrylic, letraset, and spraypaint on cradled panel, ready to hang
I have been thinking about my relationship with art making a lot lately, over the years I have leaned very far into the solitude of it, the isolation of it, the mountain of alone time I have to confront in order to make things.
It is a pendulum, it can feel like a curse, a burden, and at times extremely lonely. While in the next moment, it can become such a tender beauty, something so personal, and a joy I will always have the ability to tap into no matter my circumstance.
Though art has isolated me in seasons, art has also brought me in connection with every person I know, and it’s helped me knit such a vibrant colorful community of supportive, honest weirdos.
Sometimes I forget that I’m part of it.
Truly, it has given me everything, held me when I needed comfort the most and has helped me find the strength to continue searching for a future I’m hopeful for.

zine making is giving me so much energy, these mini zines are made with a single sheet of 8.5×11 paper, folded to make 6 pages and a front and back cover. you will get your fun little book sent to you in a stamped envelope. Your subscription to this will give you one entry every month to a drawing for original work if there is one that has been announced and zentries are being sold. drawings will happen randomly and regularly.
If you win the drawing, you pay for the piece to be shipped to you if you can not pick it up from my studio.
Every month I release a new enamel pin, this is how you automatically receive them as they are released. Designs for each month will be posted on instagram and voted on, losing design will carry over to the next month.
I have set up a studio pick up option for those of you in the Portland area and want to swing by the studio monthly or periodically and wave the shipping fee. send me an email to coordinate at stay.awake435@gmail.com
I often get asked what the meaning of this symbol is.
It is a rising or setting sun.
I use it as a symbol for beginnings and endings, time passing, new ideas, perspective shifts, and change.
