"I spend a good amount of time trying to figure out how to evoke feelings and create structures with minimal information. I am fascinated by how the brain sees patterns and creates meaning from them and this piece was no different. What makes a building or a tree? How do 2 dots and 2 lines create a couple walking? How do paint splatters elicit an emotional response?

In the midst of the pandemic, the wake of the BLM protest in Seattle, and my second year post stroke; this moment of calm in the city at night struck me. As I was painting, the beginning of a figure seemed to emerged from a drip of paint so I quickly made another. The quiet beauty of the city lights above and this couple walking towards the light of hope blazing ahead seemed apt."
