Sometimes, great treasures are found in small sizes. I just keep adding to this series. To know how it all started, please read below.
This collection of small works was created from my home in Carlsbad during quarantine. As an artist I pushed myself to keep creating and sharing my work with my audience, because I believe art helps people to cope in dark times – even during a pandemic that prevents us experiencing art and culture alongside others in the same physical spaces.
“Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.” Ever since I came across this quote , it has stuck with me.
I am a firm believer that we all need to be reminded to appreciate the little things in life. Whether it is a beautiful sunset, pretty flowers growing on the side of the road, a bike ride, a long hug from someone you love, music playing, loving pets, our family and friends – we need to appreciate them more, right now.
Before the pandemic, we rushed from place to place with a hectic schedule that was causing us to overlook all the little joys life has to offer. With this collection I invite you to stop, pause , look around , be present of the moment. I invite you take a walk around the block to clear your mind and take a mental break. Meditate or dance in the living room, whatever it is that makes your heart sing.
Peace, joy and happiness can be found by living in the present. Right now.
These paintings were created as a reminder of that. Enjoy.
