2009, 48 x 48 inches, interior paint on drywall

This is my first painting. There’s no real point to it, I just thought it’d be fun to have something unique and handmade in my room.

Designing and painting this made me realize how much I enjoyed designing the shapes and colors of a painting. Seeing and feeling the fresh paint go down and getting that burst of color reflected back into your eye – it is an amazing feeling. Plus it’s always rewarding to create something.

Many thanks to Rachelle Robinson for all her hard work on this!
