The Inspiration

LOVE NOTES are a meditation on movement, connection, and harmony. Inspired by Ntozake Shange's I Live in Music, the paintings are visual poetry in motion, a conversation in gestural lines looping and unfurling like breath.

​

Each painting is designed to stand alone or live alongside others in a pair or trio or constellation. They’re connected and interconnected, yet each holds its own vibrant energy, its own rhythm, its own aliveness.

As I made these, it was in contemplation of our humanity.

How we are singular and also inseparable.

How our stories overlap, flow into one another, harmonize.

How love (including self-love) has always been both tender and revolutionary.

These small works ask:
What does it mean to belong to one another, stand with each other?
How do we stay soft-curved and compassionate in hard times?
How do we keep choosing connection when division feels louder?

They’re visual love notes. And an invitation to live with intention:

To flow outside the boundaries.

To color outside the lines, figuratively and literally.

To build a home—and a world—piece by piece (or as my uncle says, "peace by peace"), together.​
