I’m inspired by “miniare.”
Miniature Painting has its roots in the art of illuminated manuscripts. Since the beginning of the written word, detailed images have helped convey the meanings of stories and texts. The term “miniature” has nothing to do with size. It originates from two words: “minim,” for the red paint used in the process of illuminating manuscripts, and “miniare,” Latin for “to color with red paint.”
A mural can be painted “in miniature” — so can a tiny finch egg. Each requires a tremendous amount of patience, awareness, focus, and care.
Vulnerability, intuition, and courage are at the heart of my process.
