Hues of cool purple and blue combine in Bubble to create a sense of comfort and relaxation instead of coldness. Cheery marks juxtapose an underlying layer of black expressing depth. Bubbles can bring up only so much treasure from the bottom of a seemingly endless pool. What do you treasure? How deep are you willing to dive?
Bubble earned the Bright Spirits Finalist Award in May 2020 for addressing emotional health and positivity during a precarious global crisis.
Process video for "Bubble" is 1 of 2 inspired artworks completed together under a self-inflicted ten hour time limit that forced prioritization and intentional thought on layering and brush strokes.

Life, just like the layers in this painting, is the culmination of experiences as we learn from each one, build on each one, and create something new and full of joy. Pressure Makes Diamonds moves from an initial layer of grays and blacks into color, adding dimension and brightness. The artistic marks used incorporate both trauma and whimsy, the best and the worst that makes us.
