New Season - This is a painting that demands to be looked at. The icy blues cascading down the center, drawing your eye at first. And then! The verdant greens, embracing the heart shaped center, flecked with vibrant gold. And now! Tendrils of reds make their presence known. The more you gaze, the more revealed.

Journey

‘But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own’

Fierce Spring - How much courage it must take each year for the plants to awaken? To shake off their coverings and open their eyes to the springtime. Knowing that there may still be days that want to sap them of their life force. Still pushing up toward the sun.

Flame - The symbolism of the flame is one of contradictions. There is illumination and destruction. Purification and pain. The power of fire is great, sparking to life creations from the moment we harnessed it.
