La Gardienne (The Gaurdian) was painted in Cerisay, France during my residency and it captures a moment of a looser style, a more letting go, more wildness in the entire piece. Inspired by a pair of swans on still water—felt as quiet guardians of the lake. Their beauty captivated me, but I wanted to paint the emotion of it not just an image of a swan. I let a lot of the canvas shine through naturally on this one. It symbolizes for me a colorful breakthrough of my looser style, one of the first in this new format. 
 
This piece is very special and in person it is bright and demands a pause when you see it.
