For those who may not know, Matt is my late husband. Recently, his mom, Ann, asked me to create a painting for their primary bathroom. She offered me complete freedom, with just one request—that it represent both her and her husband Johnny.
This one has a story. First of all, I don’t do rustic. It’s not my style. Distressed things just look like splinters and tetanus to me. I like polish, shine, and glitter.
I did something a little silly. I bought a pink dress. This is not just any ordinary dress. It is not the typical church dress or summer sundress that I am a sucker for.
If you have ever seen one of my serving boards you probably have noticed that the back is not “finished.” That is intentional; it is part of the piece and (in my opinion), doesn’t need to be covered up.
In my life, I have lost my father, my sister, and, as of today, three years ago, my husband Matt, as well as two children, Evangeline and Lincoln. Over the last few years, I have thought a great deal about sorrow—and, more importantly, I have lived with it.
I love being on the go and exploring new places. I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family, but sometimes I do indeed need to stop, rest, and be home. It is healthy and necessary, but not always comfortable.
I saw something on the internet and thought, “I can do that!” Pretty much every hobby and interest I’ve ever pursued started with those four words. My late husband used to roll his eyes whenever I jumped into a new passion, but he was always supportive.
We all bear the marks of life’s journey—some scars run deep and are easily seen, while others remain hidden beneath the surface; some are physical, but most reside in the realm of the heart. These scars shape us, molding our character and spirit.
Poured Out Art offers original, one of a kind works created through an intuitive pouring process guided by music, movement, and emotion. Instead of following a rigid plan, each piece is formed in the moment through rhythm, instinct, and timing, allowing color to flow, blend, and settle into dramatic, expressive compositions. The result is statement artwork with real presence, bringing depth and energy to a space and giving a room a focal point that feels bold, intentional, and full of soul.
Every piece is original and unreproducible because it is poured as a response to sound and emotion, not repeated from a formula. Music influences the pace and motion of the pour, shaping the shifts in color, texture, and movement as the painting comes together. Because the process is real time and intuitive, no two works can ever be recreated, even with the same palette. Each finished piece becomes a singular visual experience that anchors a room and invites conversation.
