This piece began in 2010 as the second half of a landscape diptych. Sixteen years later, I returned to the canvas to layer fresh collage and acrylic over the original oil base. The imagery is rooted in the overgrown beach plum paths of my local beach. I love how the path climbs the dunes and drops down to dump you out at the best beach around. While my home beach has an endless ocean horizon, this painting merges that place with memories of my aunt’s house on a lake with mountains, where I spend time with my family.
It has become a dreamscape where different places I love have merged together as one. I get a punch to the gut thinking about this communication I am having with my 24 year old self. I am telling her through art making that everything will work out and all of her dreams will come true. As my 40 year old self, I now know this to be true. By revisiting this work, I am transforming an old painting into a space that reflects my current intuition and life.
Owning the original canvas means you get to experience the true depth of these layered timelines and the tactile energy of the brushstrokes. The piece comes beautifully framed, adding a one inch border completely around the canvas, and arrives ready to hang on your wall.
Medium: Acrylic and mixed media collage on canvas
Canvas Dimensions: 28×36”
Framed Dimensions: 29×37”
Original fine art requires specialized packaging to ensure it arrives perfectly safe. Please allow up to three weeks for this one of a kind piece to be carefully prepared and shipped directly from my studio.
As a working artist, managing an open online shop every single day takes me away from my core purpose. To ensure I have the dedicated time needed to focus on my original paintings and my community work through Creative Pathways, my shop is only open for short, intentional windows throughout the year.
This artwork is a strictly limited edition. The collection is capped at:
10 prints at 14×18” (Hand Embellished and Framed)
10 prints at 14x18”
20 prints at 7x9”
These prints will be available during this current open window. Whatever remains will simply be held in the vault until the next time I open the shop doors. However, once these specific edition numbers are fully claimed across my shop openings, this artwork will be officially archived and never reproduced in these formats again.
For a truly unique piece, you can choose the 14x18 inch hand embellished edition. I will personally bring the reproduction back into the studio to add subtle layers of acrylic texture and transparent color, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. To protect the original texture and elevate this exclusive tier, these specific prints are elegantly matted and come professionally framed, arriving ready to hang on your wall. The final outer size of this framed edition is approximately 18x22”. Because of the physical studio time and custom framing this requires, I am strictly limiting this option to an edition of 10.
Please allow up to three weeks for processing standard prints, and up to four weeks for the framed editions. These are custom printed to order, and I want to personally ensure proper care and high quality attention to the creation and shipment of your art.
When you acquire this art, you are directly supporting community arts education. All sales through this shop flow directly through Creative Pathways, a registered 501(c)(3) organization founded by the artist. Your purchase directly funds the mission, including free after school arts programming for students in Brockton.
