Summer Deferred
30 x 40” Acrylic on canvas. Framed in solid wood.
This title piece is the first piece I made for the Summer Deferred collection. The seed of an idea came to me while riding the train home over a year ago, and I started this piece in the summer of 2023. I thought it would be part of a fall collection and ready in just a few weeks - the hubris!
As I started working on the piece, it quickly became clear that 1) I wasn’t going to be able to do this collection justice if I rushed it for a 2023 launch, 2) I had a solid idea for a collection but it wasn’t quite ready to emerge just yet, and 3) I had some growth that I needed to make as an artist before I would be ready to bring this collection into the world. I postponed my fall 2023 show and gave the collection some space.
Over a year later, I love the way this piece matured. It represents so many of the themes in this collection: change, movement, blooms, open horizons, and bright colors.
