Spring in Bloom
Spring in Bloom is a piece measuring 48in x 48in. It is painted with an array of acrylic colors that are popping up in Michigan as spring begins to unfold here.
As many of you know I love color theory + all things connected to the color spectrum.
I have been seeing and feeling a lot of green so I decided that they way out of my winter funk was to paint what I had been feeling. It all stemmed the word “awakening” - my mind + body digested the word and it brought forth some unique paintings.

“Green is a color pervasive in the natural environment that says renewing, refreshing and regenerating. It represents balance, growth, learning, and harmony. It’s the symbol of prosperity, freshness, and progress. We associate green with vitality, fresh growth, and wealth. We generally think of it as a balanced, healthy, and youthful. We use green in design for spaces intended to foster creativity and productivity. But there are actual physical effects: Your pituitary gland is stimulated. Your muscles are more relaxed, and your blood histamine levels increase, which leads to a decrease in allergy symptoms and dilated blood vessels, aiding in smoother muscle contractions. In short, green is calming, stress-relieving, and–a bit paradoxically–invigorating. It’s been shown to improve reading ability and creativity.”
