From the Art By Cedar Archives: Approaching Storm

I made this painting as part of my senior thesis show at Goucher College. The show was called “Roots and Wings.”

A raucous flock of birds flaps into the bright sky, fleeing the eerie blue light that’s overtaking the scene. The trees are whipping in gusts of wind. Everything is standing on edge with electricity.

I love the drama and excitement of this painting.

“Approaching Storm” was one of several paintings to be exhibited in my first-ever solo show in an art gallery, in 2006.
