Surrounded By You

Some paintings begin with a collection of beautiful objects.

This one began with revisiting an earlier idea.

Surrounded by You grew from my painting Together is Better. While the original explored the harmony of a collection of vessels as a reflection of community, I found myself wanting to return to the composition on a larger scale. By drawing the vessels closer and allowing them to fill the canvas, the painting took on a more intimate feeling—less about the gathering itself and more about the comfort of being surrounded.

I've always been fascinated by the way beautiful light transforms both ordinary and extraordinary subjects. As the light moved gently across the pottery and glass, it revealed subtle textures, softened edges and drew each vessel into one harmonious whole. Every piece retained its own character while contributing to something greater than itself.

For me, Surrounded by You became a reflection on belonging. It speaks of the quiet reassurance that comes from being held within a community, surrounded by people who know us, encourage us and make us feel at home. My hope is that this painting brings that same sense of warmth and peace into the home where it hangs.
