We are through our first day of my Solo Show with the amazing Stephanie Gagos. It was a beautiful opening and I am so grateful for the love and support and thank you so much for walking along side me.

I absolutely loved putting this body of works together which is something I haven’t actually done for almost 2 years and to work the last season with intention was amazing for my heart and focus. I absolutely loved my time in studio.

I have called this body of works “The Melancholy of Change”

I found this quote when I was doing this work, with the butterflies and chrysalis appeared in some of my piece… it felt so appropriate.

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves, we must die to one life before we can enter another.” - Anatole France.

I have felt my own inner shifting after my almost 2 year break and something different emerging from my work. I’m not always aware how cohesive my work is when I am working constantly, from one piece to the next and it’s usually a delightful surprise to find that. However, for this body of works, my cohesion was with intention. I worked with my collection in mind by using similar elements all the way through. In each piece I worked with a specific color palette, specific patterns of design and ephemera elements that would help each piece flow together. My use of green and nature is always a strong focus in my work and this season was no exception. My introduction of Titanum White felt like its own character this season, which I am thoroughly enjoying.

I can’t thank you enough for being here with me after my break and thank you for all the love and support. With much love and gratitude from my heart to yours.
