Knots is a joint exhibition by two artists who met across an ocean and a language barrier, and discovered something rare.
Through mutual reflection and creative exchange, their work explores what it means to be seen, held, and connected beyond words.

I’m inviting you into a garden—one that has been cultivated slowly, with patience and curiosity, over many seasons of my creative life. A garden where, I’ll confess, I’ve killed more plants than I care to admit, yet somehow still managed to coax beauty from the chaos.

This week marked the beginning of something new: my Substack “Growing Beauty,” a space where art and nature intertwine, where words take root alongside imagery of my gardening and creative work, where process is as valued as the finished works that grace collectors’ walls.

As I personally continue to widen my own roots, my relationship with gardening—like my relationship with art—remains beautifully unresolved, constantly evolving, and occasionally involves urgent late-night Google searches on “why are my leaves turning yellow?” (which, incidentally, shares browser space with “what kind of glaze elicits an epoxy-like finish without the environmental guilt?”).

These past few years have been transformative. The garden has taught me what philosophy books couldn’t: that existence itself is an ongoing act of creation, simultaneously deliberate and wildly beyond our control.

In this space, I’ll explore how gardening serves as both metaphor and methodology for the human experience. After years of growing artistic roots, I find myself still planting seeds—in soil and on canvas, forever trying to feed this very curious brain with each new season.

This Substack offers me the opportunity to share the intricacies of what inspires my work, but also the philosophy that sustains it. Because for me, it has always been about embracing the messy, unpredictable nature of life and art. (And yes, we will inevitably discuss the curious way that both gardening and art-making force us to confront our illusion of control—how we must simultaneously act with intention while surrendering to processes larger than ourselves.)

Roots = birth = breath.

Come sit and breathe with me. Subscribe, and let’s grow beauty together—soil under fingernails and all.

Excited to share my latest works at tomorrow’s Artist Reception at South Shore Arts! Hope to see you there!

The exhibit features recent photographic works along with drawings done in pastel and pencil. Much of the work in this exhibit is about connection, community and creating a sense of belonging. Efflorescence aims to meet its viewer with open arms and functions as an invitation to join in radical flowering.

During the reception, you'll have the opportunity to meet me in person and learn more about my creative process. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about my work and the inspiration behind it.

Food and drink will be served from 1-3.

See you tomorrow!

Ann

Wasn’t sure how pairing the Anthurium and Bouvardia would work, until I saw a Fibonacci sequence staring back at me. I shared a while ago about applying this sequence to my portrait work, but thought it’d be fun to share with a botanical piece. (Swipe for details)

For centuries artists have used what is known as the Golden Ratio. It’s also known as the Golden Section, Golden Mean and Divine Proportion. Leonardo Da Vinci is perhaps most well known for implementing the Golden Ratio in works such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. It’s evident in Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus and Michaelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. It’s been argued that Mozart, Beethoven and Claude Debussy are only a few composers who’ve used Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio to structure their music.

Studies show that designs implementing this ratio are aesthetically pleasing. For this piece, I think it brings a sense of balance and harmony to the complexity of the flowers. What do you think?

Thank you PBS for inviting me to be a part of your American Portrait series!

A day’s work is all about being creative. As an interdisciplinary artist, I create through digital artistry, painting, drawing and sculpture. Creating my way through covid has been my saving grace, and a way to understand and navigate through such surreal times. I entitled my new series of fine ar...

November, 2008. Hands down a favorite piece of the boys that holds one of the best behind the scenes stories that I can’t share publicly. 🤣 These were the days when the boys would easily let me dress them in whatever I wanted for portraits. (Nowadays they will, but I have to ask reeeaaaalllly nicely;)
So grateful to have this moment in time hanging in our home. Capturing our children over the years has always been second nature to me, but as each year passes, those experiences I may have at times taken for granted have become the biggest gifts!!! Sessions to create pieces like this take time and planning. We always set aside the day after Thanksgiving for yearly portraits, but the boys were often asked to sit for me throughout each year. We’ve amassed quite a collection.
Soon to have two sons in college has me gripping on to these works, cherishing thoughts of the days they were taken... the sweetest of memories.
