This oil pastel gradient expresses early June sensations and gardening season beginning to burst into life. Purple fading into light, fading into green. Created on the summer solstice, seated on the rug next to a window full of plants, it depicts a calming moment of serenity amidst the bustle of summer activities. The artist's hand is evident in the wonderfully whimsical raw edges.

STATEMENT
The landscape paintings were born from my lengthy travels, with patterns inspired by the tapestries of the cultures inhabiting the landscapes depicted. Studying the weavings and rugs I reference continually teaches me about the many layers of symbolism behind the shapes, colors, and repetition in patterns. The gradients, oil pastel drawings come entirely from within, capturing fleeting moments and are entirely emotion-based. With them, I seek to aesthetically soothe the anxiety we can all experience, and provide a moment of calm to rest ones eyes. The portraits of my friends, and fellow artists Samah and Aya are an ongoing series dedicated to celebrating various people in my life and their cultural backgrounds. I'm happy to accept portrait commissions, reach out for further info.
