This is a still life of my writing desk circa Winter 2012. I had recently moved home from college for a 6 month recoup. Pictured is an old wooden cigar box with letters from friends. Then Marcel Proust's 1st volume - one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. A leather bound journal. Herman Hesse's Siddhartha - an influential read when I was younger and my fathers favorite author. I re-read it here, remembering that "enlightenment" came from the river - by watching and learning and being. On top is a vintage glass ashtray with a piece of white sage. I still have the note pinned on the wall in this very space. It's a quote from Proust, typewritten: "The places we have known do not belong solely to the world of space in which we situate them for our greater convenience. They were only a thin slice among contiguous impressions which formed our life at that time; the memory of a certain image is but regret for a certain moment; and house, roads, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years. " *I did not paint this quote. I was experimenting with painting on paper, and how a collage of paper would add texture underneath the paint. The painting has some strange qualities because of this, but is a decent still life. I hope it finds a good home.

Rhea Cutillo is a contemporary artist concerned with the human-nature relationship and wide open spaces both in the physical, ecological world and in the internal, cerebral realm. She has exhibited across the United States and internationally, including the Alexandria Museum of Art, Yellowstone Art Museum and the award-winning festival List í Ljósi. Her work is in private collections across North America and the U.K. She is a graduate of The Barnes Foundation Museum Barnes-de Mazia Program, Philadelphia PA; Mills College, Oakland, CA (B.A. 2011); and attended the Leroy E. Hoffberger Graduate School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Rhea Cutillo is both an artist and herbalist. Her studies at The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, Oregon, and the East West School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, California have informed her worldview of natural reciprocity and the need for ecological and cultural reconciliation. Currently a Dean's Merit Scholar at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, her projects focus on the importance of embodied knowledge to understand space and place. Her work stems from a recognition that it is not just the biosphere that is disappearing, but our heritage and communion with the land is in question as well. In 2022, her work was published in New American Paintings Magazine #138 and PXV Art Mag #5. In Spring 2023 she lectures and exhibits with Philadelphia Water Works on the impacts of climate change.
