Little Blue House, oil on panel, 16x20", 2025.
I was browsing a vintage shop in Cle Elum when this bottle caught my eye. It took me back to growing up in our small, blue, single-story house in New England. The concept of 'home' has always been sentimental for me, especially since none of my immediate family live in that house or even in the state I'm from. I've moved more than a dozen times so home was often a temporary place. I’m here in Washington now, while my family is still all back east. I feel at home in WA, but there’s a part of me that misses the East Coast in a way that’s hard to put into words.
