Color Outside the Lines began with a simple idea: stop worrying about where the marks should go.
Sweeping blues and purples move across softer washes of color while turquoise, orange, yellow, and unexpected lines interrupt the composition. Some marks overlap. Others drip, wander, or seem to change direction midway through. Instead of correcting those moments, I let them become part of the painting.
That freedom is at the heart of this piece. I wanted to create without worrying about perfect placement or where one decision might lead—and to leave evidence of that process behind.
Color Outside the Lines reminds us that not everything beautiful comes from staying within the boundaries we’ve been given.
**Originally created as a companion to Held by the Sun, the two paintings became different stages of the same journey. Held by the Sun captures the quieter moment of considering what it might mean to let go, while the bolder colors and uninhibited marks of Color Outside the Lines represent the freedom that comes when you finally do. Each painting stands on its own, but together they tell the fuller story.
