This listing is to pre-order a 12 × 16” oil and acrylic painting on canvas to be made in Iceland.

On February 25th, I leave for a two-week residency at the Akureyri Art Museum in Iceland, and I am preparing this week for this journey.

I am going there to research Icelandic mythology, to visit ancient and sacred sites, to walk the land slowly and let it speak to me, but more than that, I am going because I want to feel myself expanded by it. I want to see how my work responds when it is placed inside a landscape shaped by fire and glaciers and centuries of story. I want to discover what colors emerge, what symbols deepen, what shifts in my hand when I am painting in the presence of waterfalls and black volcanic shorelines instead of the familiar walls of my studio.

And I want to bring you with me!

During this residency I will be creating a small body of work, 12x16 and 16 x 20”, entirely on site, each piece painted within the walls of the museum or out in the wild landscape of Iceland, and under the influence of that landscape, each one carrying the energy of the place where it was born. These will not be recreations later. They will be made there, in real time, as I am living it!

Before I leave, I am opening the opportunity to pre-collect one of these works, before the first brushstroke has even touched the surface.

They will be exhibited in May at a higher price, but right now, before I depart, you have first access and preferred pricing. Here’s how it works:

1. You select your preferred tier and pre-purchase a painting (not yet made)

2. I make a the paintings on my trip to Iceland

3. I email everyone who purchased a painting on March 20th pictures of all the work, and you select which one you want within your tier, first come first serve.

4. I deliver or ship the art to you!
