Weaving through trauma
4’x4’
Acrylic on birchwood 
2025

Weaving through trauma is a 4’x4’ acrylic abstract painting with a repeating geometric pattern on birchwood created in 2025. The artwork consists of a grid of small, rectangular brush strokes in various earthy tones–such as ochre, rose, brown, and cream–arranged diagonally to form a woven or basket effect. Each patch of color contains several parallel brush marks, with the colors and orientation of the patches alternating and intersecting across the canvas.
