The Pink Had to Be There: A Bold Pop of Color for Your Interiors

Every piece of art has its story, and "The Pink Had to Be There" is no exception. This painting was inspired by an unforgettable trip to Austin, TX—a city bursting with energy, creativity, and a vibrant spirit that stayed with me long after I left. I knew I had to capture that vibe on canvas, making it the perfect piece for interior designers looking for bold, statement art.

I created this artwork during a workshop with the amazing Jodie King as part of her Studio Elite, and it was such an inspiring experience. Initially, I envisioned the painting as a moody and introspective piece—something with depth, to reflect Austin’s raw, eclectic feel. But as I worked through layers of colors, I could tell something was missing. The painting didn’t quite embody the lively, joyful atmosphere of the city.

At first, I was steering away from pink. Most of my pieces end up with pink, and I wanted to try something different. But here’s the thing: pink makes me happy. It’s such a joyful, positive color, and no matter how hard I tried, the piece felt incomplete without it. Once I added those vibrant splashes of fluorescent pink, everything came together. The painting came alive, just like Austin itself.

For interior designers, bold abstract art like "The Pink Had to Be There" can transform a space instantly. Whether you’re working on a residential project or a creative office space, this piece is perfect for adding energy and vibrancy to any room. With its striking combination of oranges, blues, greens, and that unapologetically bold pink, it becomes a focal point that draws the eye and injects a sense of happiness that’s essential for creating uplifting environments.
