LOST IN LEAVES SERIES 2024~

In between circles & ovals & the unknown

The Little You

2024 | Oil on panel 10”x10”

There are hints, little glimpses,

the little you, I’d missed at first.

When you cried in the car the other day,

there you were, the little you, seeping through

like waves washing over the shore,

the little you, splashing waves

with the brightest smile I’d ever known.

 

Pinky Promise

2024 | Oil on panel 6”x6”

There’s a lightness

after the ups and downs

past the circumstances I thought would break me.

There’s a lightness

in the colors I gravitate towards:

a happy bright against heavy shadows.

There’s a lightness

in knowing there will be growth

in showing up to face my biggest fears.

I pinky promise, I’ll be there

when there’s no one else around to witness it.

The Sun in Us

2023 | Oil on Panel 10"x10"

What if we grew like trees

our feet towards the sun

the silent brilliance a twinkle?

You are in between the shadows,

slices of dark against my skin.

My arms point upwards

as if I could get all I needed

and more

soaking in the sun in us

to share the warmth when it gets cold.

Imagined seashells blossom

Heavy eyelids in slumber

water drops a gentle trickle.
