Understory

“The thing I cherish most about the creative process is getting so lost in it. I’ll go to my studio at 9 am. It may take me a hour or so to rev up and get started, but once I start painting, its suddenly 5pm. I’m exhausted but also so fulfilled by the end of the day. Throughout the day, I am often utterly amazed when I step back from a canvas and look at it from a distance and what I’d been working on close up comes together and makes a sort of sense that I am not even sure I knew I was creating. It’s surreal, meditative, almost out-of-body, and at the same time grounding.”
