Living Waters

Living Waters was done outdoors on our acreage in the Thousand Islands, during the summer after my daughter Autumn was born. The days were slow and simple, full of baby snuggles, birdsong, and the sound of paint pouring across canvas. I wasn’t trying to make a collection at first. I was just trying to breathe, to process, to return to something that felt like me again.

Each piece in Living Waters is a Dutch pour—an abstract painting created by allowing liquid acrylics to flow across the surface. The technique is unpredictable, free, and full of movement. I guided the paint but never controlled it completely, allowing the water-like forms to shape themselves.

The name Living Waters comes from John 7:38:
"Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
