Memories of Miami - Sold

Right around this time of year, when the cold seeps just deep enough into my bones - I think back to Miami. We spent 10 years there, living on the beach and then in the downtown area across the bay. It was a hot, sweaty, magical time. Miami was where I fell in love with yoga, with running, with 3pm cuban coffee and most importantly, had the time to develop a process that still informs my work.

It’s all about the water.

I don’t outright miss Miami - I just think back on it with extreme fondness. We had a wonderful group of friends, family nearby, the OCEAN…. and ugh, all the colors of those beachy sunsets will probably always have a home in my work. It’s the sweetest nostalgia.

And what does an artist do when she gets nostalgic? (At least this artist) She paints!

I painted Memories of Miami in such a nostalgic mood in 2020. The colors were sea, sand, sky and the neons of ocean drive and Wynwood. It all mashed together to be ‘Miami’ for me. ( Acrylic on 18 x 24 cradled wood)

Memories of Miami went to it’s new home with a local friend/collector this week. <3
