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 sovereign, 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 carry big questions:
What does it mean to belong to one another?
How do we stay soft 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.​
