Airplane Sessions

This watercolor portrait project takes place in the air. By painting on flights, I lean in to the realities of air travel —limited space, time restrictions, turbulence, physical discomfort, and painting in a crowded space. This atmosphere cultivates a painting practice of expressing emotion while overcoming limitations. Each reflection of mood enables the viewer to peruse, as if selecting from a catalog, while asking, “How are you feeling today?”
