2026, 20×20in, acrylic paint and mixed media on canvas.
For sale in person starting January 1st-Febuary 27th at the Emerging Artist Gallery in Sanford, NC.
Ache explores the quiet complexity of pain—not only as a physical sensation, but as something that settles into the mind, body, and soul in different ways. Through the interplay of contrast, sculptural texture, and organic forms, the work reflects the layered nature of carrying both visible and invisible burdens.
The raised surfaces create a sense of movement and resistance, while the pale quartz elements weave through the composition like moments of vulnerability, healing, or memory. Rather than depicting pain as a singular experience, Ache considers how it shifts, lingers, and transforms us over time.
As the opening work in this collection, Ache introduces the central themes that continue throughout the series: resilience, transformation, and the quiet beauty that can emerge from life's most difficult experiences. It invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and discover their own meaning within its layers.
