Sanctuary 1

The Sanctuary 1 painting is layered with hues of blue and neutrals using watercolors, gouache, and ink on archival cotton canvas. Many organic garden shapes and the shapes of pollinators were used for inspiration in this abstract painting, which is framed in a floater aluminum black frame.

The neutral colors over the large canvas enable the painting to blend in and add an element of design while also adding color and a sense of calm to a room.

In my artistic exploration of "Sanctuary," I delve into the profound essence of a garden as more than a mere physical space—it is a living, breathing sanctuary that nurtures all its stakeholders, from the creators to the admirers to the pollinators.

Gardens are cultivated and crafted with intention, love, and a sense of stewardship. In "Sanctuary," I seek to capture the essence of the creators—the hands that plant, nurture, and sculpt the landscape. Through my brush strokes, I convey the profound connection between the caretaker and the earth, exploring the intentionality behind every plant, pathway, and corner of this sacred space.

The color palette of "Sanctuary" reflects the richness of a well-tended garden—earthy tones grounding the composition, lush greens breathing life into the foliage, and vibrant floral hues infusing energy into the scene. Every brushstroke is intentional, each detail carefully crafted to convey the emotional tone of the sanctuary—a space that evokes serenity, joy, and a profound sense of awe.

Sanctuary is a collection of abstracts painted with watercolors and sumi ink on 100% organic watercolor canvas. They are finished with an archival varnish.
