Radical Healing 16x20 Mixed Media on a 20x28 canvas

$500.00
Sold Out

The first piece in the series, Radical Healing was created at the threshold of a new chapter—a moment where personal transformation, creative inquiry, and a recent cancer diagnosis converged on canvas. With paint, ink, oil pastels, and torn journal pages, this piece holds both chaos and clarity.

A prayer for creatives—once written in an old journal, found by chance, and nearly lost again under layers of paint—was re-inscribed into the work, anchoring it in love and intention. Though born from a place of uncertainty, the piece rejects fear. It doesn’t frame healing as a battle, but as an act of radical self-compassion.

Layered, intuitive, and emotionally raw, Radical Healing is a visual expression of choosing softness over struggle. It is a gesture toward loving even what challenges us. A beginning.

Materials: acrylic, oil pastel, pencil, ink, and torn journal pages on loose gesso’d 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.
