Strong Calm

Oil paint on wood

26 × 32 in

A watchful orange cat sits in quiet confidence beneath a drifting night sky. Framed by playful surreal elements and a contemplative figure, the scene reflects a state of inner steadiness—where curiosity, imagination, and calm awareness coexist. The piece suggests that true strength often arrives in stillness.

 

 

Dripping in Gold

Oil paint and gold powder on hand-cut wood

52” × 29”

A luminous feminine figure emerging in warm gold and crimson tones, balancing elegance, strength, and dreamlike presence.

Bruised with Shine

Oil and metallic spray paint on jigsaw cut wood

20” x 20”

A delicate presence glowing through impact and transformation. Softness and strength coexist as metallic surfaces catch the light, suggesting that even bruised moments can shimmer with resilience.

 

The Pursuit of Home

Acrylic and mixed media on hand-cut wood

31”x38”

A contemplative figure moves through a symbolic landscape of color and form, carrying fragments of narrative and memory. Layered patterns and shifting tones suggest an emotional journey toward belonging—where “home” becomes both a physical place and an internal state. The hand-cut structure emphasizes the sculptural presence of the piece, allowing the character to exist between painting and object.


The Future in the Present

Oil paint on hand-cut wood

4’ × 8’

Begun as a live performance painting and later completed in the studio, The Future in the Present evolved through many transformations—mirroring the fluid nature of time and perception.

A surreal figure moves through layered space, accompanied by a vibrant cat that, in an unexpected turn, came to reflect a real presence in my life. Originally painted blue before I had a cat, it now appears in the same vivid orange as the kitten I would later welcome—an intuitive glimpse into what was to come.

Balancing lighthearted storytelling with bold, sculptural cutouts, the piece explores intuition, change, and the quiet ways the future can reveal itself within the present moment.
