The Inspiration: Much of my work plays on the elements of texture and movement, pieces like “Awake After Dark” specifically emphasize the textural elements that naturally come along with palette knife paintings. Working with palette knives not only creates a texture that I obsess over, but also takes away some control and precision I would usually have with paint brushes. The decision to work in black and white highlights the stark contrast of each stroke.

“My hope is not to be seen, but to be experienced. With each new piece I share a little part of myself and I look forward to the day it makes an honest, emotional connection with another.” -Meredith B.
