More Than Words

A series of twelve small paintings, each one built around a single word. I’d sit with a word — Love, Grow, Commit, Believe — and paint whatever came up. No plan, no sketch. Just paint and the word and however the day was going. Some words came easy. Some took longer than I expected. All of them taught me something.

I paint to connect, and this is some of the most personal work I’ve made. Twelve words, twelve small canvases, one studio practice made public.

Faith

$125.00

6 × 6 oil on board, part of the “More Than Words” collection

The word is in this painting. You just can’t see it.

Bold marks, crossing each other, not quite resolved. Some tension in there that I left alone.

I won’t pretend faith comes easily to me — I wrestle with it. But I’ve come to believe that faith and belief are traveling companions; one feeds the other. For me, faith means trusting in something bigger than myself, even when I can’t see where the path leads.

Grateful

The word is in this painting. You just can’t see it.

Mostly blues and teals — and then that one flash of orange. Warm against all that cool. I didn’t plan it. It just showed up.

Every day on my walk, I look for two things: a moment of beauty and something to be grateful for. Some days it comes easily. Some days I have to look harder. But it’s always there. Gratitude keeps my eyes open to the world I’m painting — and to the life I’m living.

Calm

$125.00

6 × 6 oil on board, part of the “More Than Words” collection

The word is in this painting. You just can’t see it.

One line through the middle. Warm gold against soft grey-blue. Everything else is quiet around it.

In the noise of everyday life, calm feels like a radical act. I think of it as an interior place I return to — through a quiet morning, a long walk, a brush in my hand. The world doesn’t slow down for any of us. But we can.
