From Uncertainty to Abstraction: A Pandemic-Born Collection "Epiphany"

The year 2020. A time we'll never forget. With the world on pause, and a profound sense of uncertainty hanging in the air, my own four walls became more than just a home—they became a laboratory. Like many, I turned inward, and in that enforced stillness, I found a powerful creative urge that demanded a new form of expression.

I began an intense period of experimentation with new acrylic pouring techniques. While the modern iteration of this technique is ubiquitous now, its roots run deep. I was fascinated to learn that this kind of fluid experimentation finds a historical echo in the work of masters like David Alfaro Siqueiros, who played with controlled pouring as far back as the 1930s.

The Intuitive Flow

My process was entirely intuitive. Each canvas became a conversation between me and the medium. I poured, I tilted, I mixed—learning from every pigment interaction, every unexpected cell formation. I wasn't just mixing colors; I was tracking movement and uncontrollable shapes. I deliberately stepped away from the conventional, opting instead for the abstract and organic interactions of the paint on the surface. This new collection is a testament to the beauty found in letting go—a dance between control and chaos.

Echoes of Transformation

But the true power of these pieces lies in the emotional layers they hold. This particular series, born in the quiet of a pandemic, documents a personal transformation as massive as the global one. It captures the complex emotions of leaving Los Angeles for a new life in Dallas and, simultaneously, the awe-inspiring experience of being pregnant with twins.

Every swirl and every vivid splash of color is an evocation of that massive shift—the adaptability required to embrace the new, the beautiful, and the unknown. They are, quite literally, paintings about transformation.
