This oil pastel gradient was created on the Full moon in June, which was a "Strawberry Full Moon", in the sign of Capricorn. It was a stunning moon, and this drawing was spontaneously made as a part of my full moon ritual. I felt compelled to express the energies I felt during the moons full shine, the first full moon of summer, falling right on the summer solstice. I created this meditative drawing while sitting on the rug, next to my window full of plants. It is meant to bring about a sense of pause, reflection, and peace. At the same time, the full moons vibrating liveliness is expressed in the way the oil pastel was applied, with evidence of the artist's hand in the energetic strokes of pigment.

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.
