The desert pastel
Sky’s dance in colors of pink
Against the sandstone.
Description:
Inspired by the soft pastels of a desert sunset in the Mojave, this piece pays homage to the serene beauty of Joshua Tree. Having visited countless times, it’s always the colors that draw me back. This painting reflects the gentle hues of the fading sun and the soft sandstone formations that hold a special place in my heart.
This peice was a part of The Space Between: Paintings from the Canyon to the Coast
Artist Statment for Collection:
There is a place we go when we don’t want to be found. It’s a space between the old and the new. The space between the city lights and the highways, the darkness of the canyons, and the river beds. A place that has felt like home to me for so long that I forgot it was lonely. But with loneliness comes imagination, and silence sparks creativity. You see, intellectually, “the space between” can feel quite trite, but in its physical form, as reflected in nature, it can be a beautiful and inspired experience.
I took a trip across many miles; I saw the sand dunes and waterfalls, hoodoos, and moonstone beaches. I did not know it at the time, but with every stop, a part of this story was written, and moments became brush strokes. I had not realized how lost I had become within myself. I too had found my way to this empty space in time. A sort of version of myself that was uncertain of what path to take forward. It took a trip from the canyons to the coast and back again to show me the way.
This collection is an ode to my time on the road. A visual haiku of sorts. A colorful documentation of places and feelings that define a new chapter of life. This is -- The Space Between where you are and where you are going.
