This painting is like the perfect dinner guest—versatile, charming, and always fitting in just right. Whether it’s adding warmth to a cozy nook or making a bold statement in a sleek, modern space, it knows how to work the room! Swipe to see how it looks in different settings. Which room do you think it fits best? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10?)

Settling on the final color palette for this piece

Settling on the final color palette for this piece took a few days. I finally chose shades of pinks and browns because they felt true to the story this piece tells—soft yet grounded, connecting both layers of history and nature.It’s always interesting how colors can shape the feel of a piece. This combination felt like the right fit for holding space for this timeline.

✨ Layers of Time ✨This 9” x 9” piece, a companion to one I shared a few days ago, invites you to explore the depth and complexity of history and connection. Built with tactile layers and rich botanical textures, it reflects the recurring themes in my work—timelines, memories, and the spaces we hold for one another across generations.This painting pairs beautifully with rooms that feature calming blue tones (😉 @tillmanainsley), adding warmth and contrast to the serene backdrop. Like its sister painting, it stands strong on its own yet complements the other beautifully, offering a unique perspective when paired together.How do you feel about textured/tactile art?

Room by room, each piece finds a new story to tell. Where do these two speak to you the most? Swipe to see them styled in different settings, and let me know in the comments which space feels right to you! (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10)?Both pieces can stand alone or make a perfect pair. 🍃#VersatileArt #YourSpaceYourArt

My work explores timelines, history, and the art of holding space. I’m constantly aware of time’s fleeting nature, striving to create pieces that reflect the delicate balance of honoring what’s come before us while embracing what lies ahead, all within the ever-shifting flow of life.Using earthy textures and botanical forms, I ground my work in the natural cycles of growth, aging, and renewal. Layers of texture lay a foundation that hints at the resilience of past generations, while lighter, transparent layers capture the transient moments and connections that shape who we are. These open spaces are pauses, places where we hold space for ourselves, our relationships, and the ebb and flow of life’s rhythms.This art isn’t just a reflection of my own timeline; it’s an invitation to consider our roles within the greater continuum. It celebrates stillness and motion, calling attention to the moments we actively hold onto—and the ones that inevitably drift away.

Such a fun afternoon with @woffordalumni at the inaugural art exhibition. I loved going back to @woffordcollege and meeting other creative alumni of all years. Featured in this show was my piece “Blackberry Picnic II” and both of my books 📚, “The Art of Time” & “The Education of Little Me”. Thank you to both my sister @ghsvail and mother @ghvail for making the drive and the time to support me!!! 🖤💛 Family is everything.

The truth is, I now don’t travel back at all, not even for the day. I just try to live every day as if I’ve deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life. // About Time

LOVE the pattern on pattern but some may think it’s too much. Which room do you think this piece suits best? (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9?) swipe 👉🏼 to see the last photo for my inspiration. ✨

My work is an exploration of timelines, history, and the delicate nature of holding space. I am deeply aware of the fleeting nature of time and seek to create pieces that reflect the complex balance of honoring the past while embracing the future, all within the transient flow of life.Through earthy textures and botanical formations, I ground my work in the natural cycles of growth, aging, and regeneration. Tactile layers provide a foundation that speaks to the resilience of generations before us, while diaphanous layers represent the fleeting, yet profound moments that pass between the people and experiences that shape us. These transparent elements are the spaces where time pauses—where we hold space for ourselves, our relationships, and the shifting rhythms of life.My art is not just a representation of personal timelines but an invitation for others to reflect on their own roles within this continuum. It is a celebration of both stillness and motion, a visual testament to the moments we consciously hold, and the ones that inevitably slip away.
