”Patience" is a 9”x9” mixed media painting on watercolor paper. This piece was inspired by thinking about the patience needed for oneself when practicing meditation. Being gentle when the mind wanders, letting go of “doing it right”, and freeing yourself of expectations other than just showing up for yourself.

I used acrylic paint, gouache, and wax pastels to layer together; this piece is part of a series of paintings inspired by meditation. The “Meditation” collection is a group of paintings I started as a visual reminder for myself. At the beginning of 2019, one of my intentions was to start practicing meditation regularly. Sitting still, breathing deeply, and going inward for a little bit of time each day.

I knew I had a higher probability of reaching my goal if I saw a beautiful visual reminder every day. I intend for these paintings to act as a symbol and reminder, to do something kind for oneself and to value the time we have to connect with our inner wisdom.
