Acrylic and natural acrylik on paper
Signed and dated on the back
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.
Sea Beyond the Red is a painting about a lightness that lingers beneath the anger felt in trying times: an anger at the injustice of the disease my grandma faced, but also the lightness running beneath it, because the anger was coming from love. It’s a piece about complexity and harsh emotions coexisting with simple moments and gentle things.
