Subconscious Colors Collection
We live in a world where color is on everything.
The creator Himself is a never ending palette.
We encounter colors, patterns and moments that we tuck in our souls and wait for them to come alive again.
When they do, sometimes it takes a moment, but then it connects to a new memory and moment.
The Subconscious Colors Collection is this,
colors that we intentionally and unintentionally engage with regularly.
That create a palette of colors on our souls. I invite you to come on a journey with me.

We are naturally drawn to things that are not man made. My eyes lock in on nature's palettes. The same mountain we hike up can change its colors in a matter of hours. It's a palette that does not like to be controlled and yet as an artist. I can't stop painting it. The greens just show off. They change as the sun shines on them. They reflect soft sages green as the moon dances off of each leaf. Nature claims color as its own. So we grab ahold of the pieces it allows us to take. Pictures, memories, rocks, flowers and even pigment. Trying to recreate the beauty we saw. Yet, we are always drawn back to the place where we first saw it.
Maybe that is how God designed it to be. Giving and yet wild. Full of wonder and discovery.

There are moments in our past where shapes and colors are so sharp. They mark us without asking. We try to figure out if we can make anything beautiful out of them.
We call out to something new, something healing. Memories that spark new color palettes in the Spirit of who we are. Sometimes the colors are bolder than we think we can handle. Yet, we are drawn to them. Something new, something different, something healing. These are places and people, memories and words. Things we give power to and the things speaking life over us.
So choose wisely the things and moments you allow to make color palettes on your inner self.

To the moments we long for, we have walked them in our past. We desire more of them in our future. The colors are permanently on our souls. They call out to us, to engage again and enrich the colors of moments that are created into memories.
This is where I belong.
Take me to space with your embrace.
The feeling of your heart beat
The warmth of your hand.
The attention of my heart, to hear you call my name.

Each culture has a palette that belongs to it. Colors that claim significance for centuries to shades of greens and blues that create royalty. Maybe it's a red that cleanses and purifies; or it’s a soft pink that calls for the voice of the innocent.
Every place has lines and shapes that create significance to the time period they were created. The layers of colors and marks. Each one full of beauty and even pain. Stories that cry out to be spoken and faces that just want to be known.
There is a celebration that takes place for each culture as it displaces it beauty.

We are it. A color palette that makes us the inside of who we are. From the memories we took in as a child, to the experiences we created as a youth. To the moments we found out what we were made of as adults. They are all lined with color. That neighborhood you grew up in with that one neighbor who had all the flowers. Then as an adult you drive by a field of flowers and think of the neighbor’s home. Some memories are life giving and others we’ve had to cultivate spaces for healing.
This is the color palette I see most in myself. A rich green that reminds me of fields of crops as a little girl. To soft earth tones that I encountered traveling the world. To the soft egg shell colors that remind me of the space where healing has taken place.
What might your color palette look like? Maybe it's time to see what color your memories have created in your soul.

We can do it so easily, we can recall what her kitchen table looked like. The antique plates she always spoke about getting from her mother. The smell of familiar treats that made your stomach so happy.. The perfume that would tell you she is near. The sound of her humming voice of hymns reminding you what she believes in. The calling of your name in a voice that makes you feel known. To the prayer she spoke over you when others would forget. She is what makes you excited to come home too.
To the grandmas who love us in a way that is so unique and surrounds us like heavens hugs.
Miss you grandma.

We don’t even have to try. Life just creates layers, upon layers of memories. Sometimes that starts to intertwine with each other. We go down memory lane to find ourselves dreaming into the future. Where the old meets the present and pulls back to create a lay over the future.
These are the layers of Rome. The richness of the earth tones, to nature pressing itself into the city, not to be lost. To the seasonal flowers that make themself ever so strong in the dead of summer. They all thread themselves together at one time. Yet, standing strongly on its own.
We each have many of these layers. Maybe even a gallery of paintings in ourselves of layered painting. They have strong and yet soft memories.
Maybe try to take a walk in your inner gallery and see what layer paintings are on display.

I have always been amazed by things in nature that grow in places where you feel they should not be able to thrive. They might not have much of a root system, They can withstand storms and come out with even more vibrant colors. They are delicate and soft. They always draw nature and people to them.
Sometimes seasons in our lives are like that. Our root systems seem short, we grow in a place where we even surprise ourselves. We come out of storms with even more colors and more grace.
There are Lily pads close to the park I run in, but they are only around for a week before the warmer weather evaporates their surroundings. When they are present; they will stop people walking by.
May our lives be a Lily. That even when our roots feel short and the storms seem to come often. The seasons want to dry up our space. We allow the grace and softness of the Father to make our colors even bolder and draw all of creation to Him.

We are drawn to water, there is something quite magical about it. From a child who holds the hose in the air to see the rainbow. Playing in a stream and watching your toes take all kinds of shapes. To the space as an adult where we just want to sit beside it and listen. All these moments collect a fluidity in our minds, where memories of water collect and build on each other.
To the aggressive ripples to the smallest of misty lines. They all work in unity with each other.
So place me here, with the stream to my right, a book and some art supplies to my left and watch magic happen.
