Description & Inspiration:
Balance and Harmony are a series of 3 separately created paintings that were originally created to flow together as a single piece, typically called a triptych.
Each of the 3 pieces within this series are both interesting, captivating, and strong enough to stand on their own, but really tell a compelling story evoking strong emotions when appreciated together.
The inspiration for these came from trying to find balance within my life while at the same time discovering and appreciating the joy of the small moments in life which are often passed by. Similar to those important and often fleeting moments, as you glance at this piece, you will notice various aspects of them shimmer and shine that will change and shift as you focus on it.
These were created using several acrylic painting methods and treatments.
The full set resulting in the Balance and Harmony piece is one of my most treasured, enjoyable to create, yet extremely challenging sets that I have ever created. It is also one of my favorites to get lost within.
It blends the best of the Seed Explosion series and Color of Sound series into a single set. Finding balance within the negative space between light and dark, then adding harmonious color throughout was difficult but inspirational.
It can take your breath away as you glance at it, but the true beauty and complexity is only seen as you continue to look closer. This will continue to be a benchmark piece and inspiration for future works.

General Tips & Suggestions
Room Considerations: Take the room and wall into account when determining the anchor point, such as lightswitches, furniture, wall color, etc.
Smaller Spaces: A tightly-grouped even number of pieces is perfect and creates a window effect. Narrow or shorter pieces are perfect for finding balance between the artwork and the negative space on the wall.
Larger Spaces: A tightly-grouped even number of pieces works great to balance out a large space or high wall. These can use slihgly larger spacing than smaller spaces.
Multiple Pieces: Treat multiple works of art as a single piece instead of trying to place each piece individually.
General Height Guidelines
Standard Wall: Try to put the center of the painting or focal point of the piece around 58” up from the floor. This is approximentaly eye level for the average person.
Above Furniture: When displaying art above a couch, sofa, or chair, aim for the bottom of the piece or frame to be 6" - 8" above the couch.
General Lighting Guidelines
Direct Lighting: Lighting is ideally at a 30-degree angle to reduce glare, subtract 5 degrees to accent texture, add 5 degrees to avoid frame shadows.
Ambient Lighting: Consider layering multiple sources of light such as natural, ambient, and focused light to provide beautiful viewing of your art and home at any time of day.
Blacklight/UV Reactive Pieces: Using a blacklight or color changing bulb set to a deep blue/purple will bring the piece to life. Exclusively using this lighting or in combination with traditional light both work amazingly. Experiment to see what you like best.
General Spacing Guidelines
Multiple Pieces: 2”-3” minimum, 4”-5” normal, 6” max. (Use your hand, fingers closed as a good quick estimate).
Above Furniture: Art displayed over objects such as a couch, table, or chair should be about 50% -75% the width of the object (using one or multiple pieces).
Above a Fireplace/Mantle: Art displayed over room focal points, such as a fireplace or mantle, should be the same width as the fireplace opening.
