#ArtistEcho – Hilma af Klint

“People will understand me in 100 years.”

There’s something quietly moving about painting with meaning, even if it isn’t fully seen at the time.

Hilma af Klint’s work glows with intuition, structure, and mystery—created ahead of its moment.
Abstract painting by Hilma af Klint featuring layered spirals, circles, and organic shapes. The color palette includes warm peach, golden yellow, soft rose, lavender, navy blue, and black. These forms are arranged in a symmetrical and symbolic design that radiates balance and energy. The composition evokes a sense of movement, light, and spiritual meaning, with geometric elements appearing like mandalas or celestial maps. Hilma af Klint, a pioneering abstract artist and mystic, created visionary paintings that predated Kandinsky and Mondrian. Her work is known for blending science, nature, mysticism, and mathematics into deeply intuitive abstract compositions. This particular piece is part of her “The Ten Largest” series, often interpreted as a visual meditation on human life stages, emotional transformation, and inner awareness. The image conveys a quiet, radiant power that continues to influence abstract artists today.

Honored to be part of ArtAbility, a show that celebrates resilience and creativity. Grateful that two of my paintings found new homes and a third will remain on consignment with the program. #ResilienceThroughArt #Gratitude
An impressionistic oil painting of a sunlit white barn with a muted green roof, accompanied by several outbuildings nestled among lush greenery. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the warmth of the light and movement in the foliage. In the foreground, bright yellow-green plants contrast with the soft white walls of the structures. The background sky is pale with hints of warmth, blending into tree-covered hills. The painting evokes a peaceful rural scene, bathed in soft natural light, emphasizing harmony between nature and architecture.

Excited to share that six of my paintings were accepted into the Art Ability Show at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital in Malvern, PA. One has already sold! This show celebrates the creativity of artists with disabilities. Art has been a source of healing and inspiration in my life.
