ABOUT

This piece is part of a series of 9 paintings that were created as I processed my emotions about my grandma’s life, her experiences with Alzheimers disease, and her passing. I found a bit of comfort in color and subject: in rendering the simple warmth of everyday objects like a cup of tea or a bouquet of flowers. These works are meant to honor simple moments as they come — even those that are soon-to-be forgotten or those that have long since passed — as they are all the embedded makings of a precious life.

Empty Mug, Unlit Matches is a still-life painting of an empty mug of coffee beside a single tulip and two unlit red-tipped matches. The duality between the mug being drained and the matches remaining unlit — one in its full form, one empty — balanced by the single tulip which lays picked but not yet wilted, honors the beauty and value in each phase of utility and existence.
