"Waking Up in Minneapolis"

She’s a little yin, a little yang; a little dark, a little light; a little low, a little bright.

It's the first days of 2026, and I live in Minneapolis. She too is a little yin, a little yang. And she’s pretty dark right now.

Yin can’t be yin without the yang. Yang can’t be yang without the yin. We are so tightly wound to our side, our opinion, that we are blocking the light from the other side. But I see it. I see people on both sides genuinely believing they are doing what is best for their people and community.

And from that, I painted a small collection of Suns & Moons. I painted with deep sadness, and at times, hope. Hope that we can begin to climb out of this and see the sunshine on the other side.

This is the first piece I painted and the only one on paper. The result of waking up to some really frightening news in my city and trying to process through it. I found some balance in my own brain as I painted this, and it inspired me to paint more.

9"x12" acrylic and gold oil pen on high quality, 140 lb, watercolor paper

Matted painting includes a white mat that finishes this work at 12"x16". This is a standard-ish frame size so that you can easily frame this piece upon receipt. PRICES INCLUDE DOMESTIC SHIPPING. International shipping will be calculated upon request. Your painting will ship this week.

Can you order your painting without a mat? Absolutely! Maybe you want a different color or mat size. However, it IS important to mat your painting before it hits the frame glass. The mat gives your painting a little breathing room; without it, the paint will eventually stick to the glass.

If you've never purchased original artwork and have questions, or if you'd like to see more pictures of this piece, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
