Titled after the quote by Kelsey Wells, “It’s always AND, not or…” this painting depicts holding a variety of opinions, perspectives, and emotions. Oftentimes we see only the binary in a situation: right or left, good or bad, truth or error. But I think there’s a lot more to the world than just two sides – there is an armful of complex perspectives that can be heavy and beautiful to hold. And it’s okay to hold them all. 16×20″, acrylic and mixed media
