Fierce Audacity 71 x 101 Mixed Media on Canvas
Created on a 71 x 101 inch canvas—the largest work in the collection—Fierce Audacity is a declaration in color, scale, and spirit. The piece was inspired by a moment of encouragement from fellow artist Denise Landi during a Family Night at ArtQuest, who reminded me that this residency was a rare opportunity to think big, to work big, to be big. The next morning, I bought the largest canvas I could fit in my car.
This piece channels the power and movement of the chakra system—those unseen wheels of energy that govern everything from survival to expression to transcendence. As I painted, I meditated on those energetic centers, imagining them turning, aligning, opening. Each layer became an act of clearing, an invitation for healing to flow.
There is something audacious about claiming space—on a canvas, in a gallery, in your own body. It takes audacity to heal in radical ways, to begin a prolonged water fast, to listen to your body’s wisdom over convention. This piece is a reflection of that bold, sacred reclamation.
It is a painting that dares to be large, unapologetic, and fully alive. It asks: What if your healing needs to take up more space?
Materials: acrylic paint and oil pastel on 71 x 101 inch unstretched canvas
Each piece in Where the Ink Ran Out was created during or in preparation for my residency at ArtQuest at GreenHill, where my intention was to explore what couldn’t be fully expressed through words alone. All works are on loose, unstretched canvas, with a 16x20 area hand-gessoed at the center, leaving an unprimed border around the edges. I love how this allows the raw edges and natural wrinkles of the canvas to create dimension—each one casting its own subtle shadows. These pieces are meant to be framed in a way that honors that softness and relief, rather than flattening them completely. I also pushed the boundaries of mixed media in this collection, using embroidery floss as a connective and highlighting element—stitched into the canvas like a drawn line, guiding the eye and anchoring the emotion.
