Hot days in the studio.

“I’m lost in the light/Lantern Series”; 12x60 inches; acrylic, ink, pencil, pen, paper collage and brass on panel; title from Bahamas; available in Park City later this month ✨ I’m still thinking about sunrises and sunsets, grief and new beginnings 🌅 I’m in my final two months working and living in Austin, and I feel like my heart is not only mending, but growing 💗 the greatest thing about this residency has been time—time to step away from my complex, full (and totally wonderful) life in Santa Fe to find the spaces in my own heart that haven’t had much light these past few years 💙 I’m a total bummer in moments and not having as much fun as I’m supposed to, but that’s ok—going through sadness means you can hopefully get to the other side and find the lightness ☀️ I’m grateful for the flexibility afforded me by my painting practice, and the support from my network that makes this all possible 💝 #ninatichava #newpainting #newfavorite #lanternseries #studiowall #studioview #studiovibe #austin (at Springdale General) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiBSn9Opzc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
