Trusting the Quiet

24 × 24 inches

Acrylic on canvas

“Trusting the Quiet” emerged slowly through layers of deep teal, soft misty whites, and warm metallic light. Built through translucent glazes, the painting developed gradually, allowing the atmosphere and depth to reveal themselves naturally over time.

The piece carries the feeling of a calm Pacific Northwest evening—when the light softens, the air becomes still, and everything settles into quiet.

There is always a moment in my process where I have to decide whether to continue working or step back and trust what the painting has already become. This painting asked for restraint. A final white oxide glaze softened the layers into a gentle atmospheric field, allowing the light and depth to settle naturally.

“Trusting the Quiet” reflects that moment of pause—when stillness replaces urgency and clarity appears in the quiet.
