The Grumble Bear
Octavia loves mac and cheese.
She loves it so much that she doesn’t want to eat anything else. In fact, she refuses to eat anything but mac and cheese, including a delicious beef stew that her mother prepared for dinner one night.
When Octavia refuses to eat the beef stew and instead chooses to go to bed without supper, she is visited by a very troublesome guest – The Grumble Bear.
I love when a painting begins to feel like a world of its own.
A moment pulled from a story, with a past we can only imagine and a future left unwritten.
He has somewhere to be, someone to miss, and miles left to travel. At least, that’s what I see.
What do you see?

Somewhere between the sky and the sea, where the impossible feels possible. A little dreamlike, a little mysterious, and a reminder of the wonder that exists in the world around us.

I saw this painting before I ever touched a brush. It came to me in a dream: a woman falling through the sky, a whale drifting in the blue depths below, two worlds separated by a restless sea.
What I love is that after completing it I noticed something cool-the background looks like the moon! The water becomes clear and both she and the whale are suspended in space.
I woke with the image still lingering, carrying the strange, quiet ache of something half-remembered. I knew I had to paint it.
Some things ask to be understood. Others simply ask to be made.
