No Brand, Just Mitch

18 x 24" Charcoal on tone paper 2017 There are some things we can only understand by standing in them ourselves. 5280 takes something as simple as a pair of bare feet and asks us to look at the distance between another person's experience and our own. Someone can walk a mile in your shoes, but not a single foot of that mile in your bare feet. Art offers a way to show someone a small section of your experience, but they will never see it quite from your perspective. Maybe that is part of what makes looking at another person's world so interesting. We can get close, but we can never quite stand where they stood. Collection: Sunday @6 South: Realism

 Acrylic on canvas 2025 The artist’s two roommates melt into one another as they often do. Chuck and Ollie are frequently mistaken for brothers, but their relationship seems to model something more than simply coexisting. They share the couch, the warmth, the space, and apparently very little concern for personal boundaries. In this moment, the two become almost indistinguishable from one another, curled together in a way that makes it difficult to tell where one cat ends and the other begins. Perhaps living together long enough teaches us that home isn't just a place we share, but a little bit of ourselves we leave in one another. Collection: Domestic 337

Acrylic on canvas 2023 Bell Road depicts a familiar stretch of road outside Newberg, Oregon—one that holds both some of Mitch’s sweetest memories and some of her more bitter ones. The rolling fields and hills became a reflection of that contradiction: beautiful and difficult, sometimes within the same view. The road continues toward the horizon beneath a setting sun, a reminder that neither the sweetness nor the bitterness stays forever. Like the sunset, everything passes. Collection: Sunday @ 6
