Living in Portland with small but joyous glimpses of sun, I’ve found even more appreciation for our Star’s warm presence. It feels as though all of Portland collectively celebrates when she comes around. I reflected on this feeling of connected thankfulness while making this tiny painting. 

  • 3.75x5”

  • gouache + oil based paint marker on board

  • UV protective varnish 


I’ve been painting these shapes and lines as a practice in creating within extreme restraint. I’m used to relying on words and letterforms, things I understand well, to communicate. I’m used to being able to get all the art supplies (surfaces, colors) I need from a store. Instead, I’m only using materials I already have with me in Portland. These are my attempts at better understanding the subtleties of simplicity as I downsize my belongings as well.
