D’lighted Paintings
Who doesn’t long for the starry skies? Feelings of nostalgia, invincibility, being spooked by the dark/unknown; humbled? These feelings are captured in D’Lighted paintings. They are an escape back to nature- a place to reground your senses. A bit playful and adventurous, they can invoke an overwhelming sense of calm.
You might be wondering “what is a d’light box?” Simply put, It's a magical painting inspired by the night sky. Mostly Nature scenes that have twinkly lights. Each one is meant to evoke a sense of wonder.
These beauties started in an abstract painting class my junior year of college, I struggled with a particular painting assignment, at the last minute I poked numerous holes and put some Christmas lights behind! Voila! D’Light was created! While not the painting my professor was expecting, his positive feedback on that piece was “you just might make it in the art world, because you're persistent”. Well, he’s not wrong! These pieces have truly flourished and grown into much sought after pieces. They are being displayed in many magical spaces.
Sitting with one of my D’Light Boxes, Will fill you with wonder. The “childish adventure feel” of the scenes will send you on a dreamy adventure yourself. Kaleidoscope lights captivate an audience of any age. Many of my pieces are displayed in children’s spaces. They are perfect pieces of art that children can grow and take with them through all stages of their life.
With each piece, I try to capture the delight in childhood dreams, imagination and wonder sprinkled with just a little bit of magic.
