An Artist Taking a Chance with Painting a Future while Looking to the Past

I paint the colors of long ago

Before my once-small, loved town grew,

Before the stars lost their glow

And wheat fields sprouted under blue.

As days, and months, and the years went by,

I watched smog cover earth and sky

Until it blocked heaven’s lights,

And the pines reached up and then died.

The pinks, violets, oranges, and blues,

Alongside planets, stars, and clouds,

Dissipated or diffused,

No longer great, bright, strong, or proud.

But still I stare at the stars and moon

To see what glimmer I might find.

I stand by wheat fields, with roots

Pointing to days left far behind.

What is My Biggest Challenge with Creating Art?

I have Essential Tremors, which makes it difficult to hold pens, pencils, and brushes still. Sometimes, I have to repaint the same thing multiple times because my hand jerks.

What is My Favorite Medium to Use?

I love experimenting with various mediums and surfaces. However, I enjoy using oil pastels the most. They're messy, blend easily (if they're a good quality), and are vibrant. My second go-to are Graffiti/oil paint sticks (but they tend to have a stronger scent).

Why Do I Create?

Creating is a way to have a voice in a world where the opinions of women and minority groups are still fighting for recognition. Much of my work has underlying themes of anti-bullying, women's safety, respecting nature, and embracing the self.

Where Do I Draw Inspiration?

Even though ugly things happen around us, the world is beautiful overall. Nature and the outdoors provide an escape from the mundane; colors and light interact; the little moments of stillness provide relief, and nostalgia seems to seep into everything. The reflections that come from these, both literal and metaphorical are what inspire me to create.

Who Am I?

I am a Utah-born artist who has seen her hometown grow from a small town of orchards, fields, and magpies to a city of two-story plus buildings, busy traffic-ridden streets, and houses on every corner. My education in the arts, graphic design, animation, and computer science has challenged my artistic endeavors, and while I've received much less for any artwork than what I've spent monetarily for the education, I'm an advocate for the knowledge that comes through schooling. However, I do believe that creativity is a key part of art.
