Heart & Soul

30X24X1.5 Oil on Canvas

Created during a period of prolonged travel apart from my husband, the work serves as a topography of longing. I began by building a dense under-texture, later layered with oil paint and cold wax to create structural depth.

The intentionality of the mark-making is central to the narrative; I left visible brush strokes where the medium is pulled to the point of scarcity, mirroring the emotional depletion and "thinness" we feel when disconnected from those we love. These raw, reaching marks are anchored by organic charcoal lines, creating a permanent record of a bond that remains resilient despite the distance. The result is an atmospheric piece that captures both the warmth of a shared soul and the fragile tension of absence.
