I am a Vermont-born watercolor painter whose practice began in the wake of a childhood accident that left me with a spinal cord injury. Painting with a brush held in my mouth became both an outlet and a way of rediscovering what was possible. My father, Gilbert “Geebo” Church, an artist himself, offered the guidance and encouragement that helped bring it forward.
Working in four-by-six-inch formats, my paintings explore the tension between control and acceptance. They are less about demonstrating what is seen than about capturing what is felt: a record of time, movement, and response. Each piece becomes both an exploration and a conversation, inviting others to find their own meaning in the shapes and colors that emerge.
