Protected
Mixed media on panel
24" x 24"
A great diamond of yellow light hangs in a misty teal field, its edges glowing as though lit from inside. Thin drawn lines trace its shape and cross its middle twice, forming a steady horizon, while small speckles of dark green drift across the gold like seeds. Beneath, two bright green wings or leaves fan upward from the lower corners, sheltering the form from either side. Soft white streaks fall from above like rain or light through a window. Mandie layered spray in gentle passes and incised the lines by hand, leaving room for the haze to do its own quiet work. The feeling is one of safety and calm, of being held without needing to ask.
Calm and steady, Protected brings a feeling of quiet safety to a bedroom, a nursery, or an entry. Misty teal walls, soft gray textiles, and a warm brass touch let its glowing diamond feel like a small lantern left on for someone coming home.

Pigment breaks loose across the surface, feathered forms climbing through bands of color, caught in the instant before they open all the way.
Paint falls in continuous vertical streams, layer over layer, color caught mid-descent before it ever reaches the ground.
At the edge of the visible world, resin, pigment powders, and luminous forms suggest planetary landscapes no one has named yet.
Immediate, unguarded and alive. Color erupts, gestures cut across fields of pattern, painting as a way of releasing what words cannot hold.
Burlap, plaster, and mixed media hold the memory of surfaces worn by time, artifacts of a history that was never written down.
Pigment flows in channels across white ground, color finding its own path the way water finds a bed to run through.
Pigment pools and cracks across the surface, veined like a lakebed or a membrane, ground still settling into its shape.
