Within/Without

Within/Without, Selfie of the Artist
Within/Without
Shortly before I painted this self portrait “Within/Without” in 2019, I began a personal practice and study of mindfulness meditation. This piece is a personal interpretation of many of the metaphors used to explain the process and benefits for meditation, such as “existing behind the waterfall” or “finding the eye of the hurricane”- seeking a moment of clarity and peace amidst the chaotic brambles of my thoughts. This painting received the Gold Medal in the 2019 Baltimore Watercolor Society Mid-Atlantic Regional Juried Exhibition, and is now in the collection of Ten Percent Happier.
