Art That Overcomes, 1860 Mellwood Avenue, Studio #185, Louisville, KY (2026)

01/03/2026

Depth and beauty come from imperfection.

People often comment on the visible layers in my paintings, and they question how I do it.

And the answer is literally this:

I’m not afraid to cover up one layer (or parts of a layer) and completely change how the painting looks.

Once a piece of art starts to feel too precious and finished and like “oh I don’t want to touch it because it looks good and I might mess it up”…. That is when you should keep going. All the insight and beauty lies on the other side of “precious”.

And the truth that any artist in any genre will tell you is that even when you can’t see the underneath layers or the rough draft of the poem or the first cell phone recording of the song, the layers are still there.

It’s the creative process. It’s a recognition that depth and beauty aren’t created in one brush stroke of genius. They are created over time. With intention. With risk. With ugly parts. With imperfection.

Can you tell that I love using shades of almost-white? Behold, my collection of almost-gone almost-white paint, unearthed in my studio today 🫠🙃.

Dark Titanium White, Unbleached Titanium, and Milky White.

I do love good ol’ Titanium White as well.

Over twenty years ago, I had an experience where God used the image of rocks and boulders scattered through a stream to show me something about how I am to impact people in this world.

The rocks stretched as far as I could see to the horizon line, and beyond. As I looked at them, God gave me a knowing in my spirit. He said, “You see how many rocks there are here? This represents how many people you will see when you get to heaven, that have been impacted by you and the way you’ve shared my love with them.”

While I have gone on to serve others in a variety of ways through my career as an art therapist, I continue to feel God expanding my vision and capacity to dream big for my life and the lives of those I come in contact with.

I use the creative process to identify and express my emotions in prayer, and in Flowing Through, you see visual evidence of this continued exploration, as I seek to bridge the gap between my internal and outer worlds.

The vaguely rock-like shapes floating on the surface of these paintings represent the people I come in contact with throughout life, and the sometimes beautiful, painful, or awkward dance of interaction between us.

God has given me a vision for serving others, but sometimes I wonder, “How?”. The practical steps I am called to take feel intangible at times; difficult to grasp.

Each piece was created using a variety of materials, including acrylic paint, oil pastels, graphite, and permanent marker. The majority of the canvases were bought second-hand and repurposed. I have a strong belief that art should be accessible to everyone, and I have exemplified this through my use of simple materials to create fine art.

I’m thankful to the friends who showed up last night to see my exhibit, Flowing Through! Talking with them about my process and the meaning of this body of work, as well hearing their own thoughts and emotional reactions was so impactful.

The exhibit will be up through the end of November, so be sure to stop by if you haven’t already! Best times would be Monday-Thursday 9am-6pm (the space is usually closed for private events on Fri/Sat).

And let me know when you’re thinking of going…I’ll meet you there if I can!

Park in the main, upper lot. Look for the big black gates. The Pigment Gallery is just beyond them, right by the leasing office.
