    Reaching for the Sky: Building on last week’s journey from the soil, we’re now exploring the upward climb—the tireless motion that turns roots into wings. These two new pieces show how new forms can take shape on the journey between earth and the heavens. “The Sprouting Strata,” a marker drawing, is a stunning depiction of this theme, with its brown, geometric blocks representing craggy cliffs. From this solid foundation, vibrant green vines climb like tendrils of hope, reaching toward the watery blues that symbolize the sky. “Flight Back from Paradise,” painted in acrylic, offers a direct and powerful look at the sky itself, with its sweeping blues and whites that evoke the feeling of soaring through clouds. Finally, “Flying South,” painted in acrylic, uses a wash of beautiful, ethereal colors to capture the feeling of being in the sky, as delicate white shapes glide through the atmosphere. What transformations have you seen in nature’s rhythm?

    From the Ground Up: This week, we begin our journey with pieces that focus on the connection between the soil and the sky. We’re featuring two works that beautifully illustrate this concept. “Terra Firma Ascent,” marker drawing establishes a solid, earth-toned foundation with its grounded hills, which serve as a base for the expansive, patterned sky above. Your eyes are drawn upward to a realm of brilliant sunbeams and cascading raindrops, a visual journey from the ground to the heavens. Similarly, “Golden Solstice,” painted in acrylic, shows vibrant flowers firmly rooted in the soil, their stems confidently reaching toward the sky. The bright blue sky, with its cotton-candy clouds, completes the journey, capturing a moment where all of nature’s elements are in perfect harmony. What journey do these pieces inspire in you?
