The Particle Series

Healing is available to us every day, in the mundane, in symbols we see around us, and in everyday colors surrounding us. It’s in our very molecules and cells, memories, and heartbeats. It’s about how healing doesn't happen in huge leaps and bounds – but more so cell by cell, particle by particle – within us. We slowly evolve, we slowly heal…breath by breath, day by day, one cell at a time… 

The shapes in my art are my imaginative visual ideas of what our cells and molecules, and their interactions, look like as we encounter the hard work of healing while simultaneously entering new states of renewal and aliveness that place us on a now different path.  My art is also about experiencing conflicting emotions, sometimes within a single moment, a concept our culture-at-large wants us to reject. Many pieces address the co-existence within us of sadness & happiness, anger & compassion, despair & accomplishment, loneliness & love.

All of the art in Kendra’s Blue Moon Collection is available for purchase.

Blanket Statements

The blanket is a universal symbol for protection, warmth, and comfort. Cultures all over the world revere the blanket as a sacred gift to others to show caring and respect. The blanket also connotes security (a toddler’s security blanket), calming and soothing (swaddling a crying infant), and a sense of belonging (family blankets tossed over the couch for coziness and snuggling). We all know the importance of a blanket as a preschooler’s “love object” (the ever-yearned-for “blankie”) for the comfort and familiarity it brings. Blankets are also about warmth when we are cold and nurturance when we are sick. Finally, to wrap someone in a blanket shows a profound act of love and kindness. It is my hope that my Healing Blankets will elicit all of these thoughts and emotions in their viewers.
