Shattered and Torn

Shattered and Torn reflects my concern for a planet experiencing increasingly visible extremes. Record heat, warming oceans, floods, drought, wildfires, and dramatic shifts in weather are no longer isolated stories. They are happening across the world, often at the same time.

The layers of blues, greens, and violets represent the natural beauty and life of our planet. The harsh gray lines fracture those colors, representing disruption, instability, and the growing pressure human activity places on the environment. The repeated words shattered and torn reinforce the sense of a world being pulled apart.

Yet the color continues to break through. That was important to me. I wanted the piece to carry both urgency and hope. Our planet may feel shattered and torn, but it remains alive, resilient, and worth protecting. What happens next is still ours to influence.

Ch*****ne Bubbles

Ch*****ne has always had a place in my life. It is part of celebrations, time with friends, and some of my favorite traditions.

One of those traditions happens every New Year’s Eve. Before midnight, I take a shower with a bottle of expensive ch*****ne, taking a few sips as I go. It is a ritual meant to bring prosperity into the year ahead and one that usually gets a laugh when I tell friends, especially as they try to figure out exactly what I mean.

But my love of ch*****ne is hardly limited to New Year’s Eve. I enjoy it whenever I have the chance. I love the pop of the cork, the sparkle in the glass, the bubbles rising to the surface, and that first sip.

All of that found its way into Ch*****ne Bubbles.

Created as a pair, the pieces feature swirls of gold, ch*****ne, cream, and white moving and overlapping against a deep black background. The colors seem to float and rise, much like bubbles in a glass, while the black gives them a warmth and glow that draws you in.

For me, these pieces capture what I love about ch*****ne: a little elegance, a little indulgence, a lot of fun, and the people and occasions that make opening a bottle worthwhile.

And sometimes, the ch*****ne itself is reason enough.

With a little COD-fidence, hope stays afloat.

What keeps us moving is hope. Even when things feel uncertain or heavier than usual, there is still something in us that looks ahead. Times may feel different, even difficult, but we hold onto hope. Hope for a new day. Hope for new opportunities. Hope for a whole new catch.

The surface reflects that reality. It is layered, textured, and imperfect, much like the moments we move through.

The blues shift between light and depth, carrying a sense of both calm and weight. Nothing here is overly refined. It is meant to feel lived in.
The word HOPE is embedded within the form, not placed on top of it. It is part of the structure, steady and present. It does not need to be loud to be felt.

The fish form speaks to movement and survival. It exists within changing waters, adjusting, continuing, finding its way. That is where this work sits. Not in certainty, but in persistence.

There is a lightness in the phrase, “With a little cod-fidence, hope stays afloat,” because that is how we often carry ourselves forward. Not with all the answers, but with just enough belief to keep going.

Hope does not have to be perfect. It just has to stay.

Give some love to your local businesses.

When the weather changes, people stay home. Events get postponed. Sales slow down. The bills, though, keep coming.

If you care about the coffee shop you meet friends at, the bookstore you wander through, the salon you trust, or the small shops that give your town character, now is a good time to support them. Share their posts. Grab a gift card. Stop in when the skies clear.

It really does come down to small choices. That is how a community stays strong.

Passive and Aggressive

These two pieces came from the same stretch of work, when I was experimenting with gold leaf and natural fiber rice paper in a way I had not before. As I layered the gold, it stopped feeling decorative and started feeling physical, almost like something clawing its way through the surface. That sensation stayed with me as the work took shape.

One piece ended up more passive. It turns inward and feels held, like everything is being kept close and contained. The energy does not go anywhere fast. It sits, absorbs, and builds quietly. There is tension there, but it is internal.

The other piece moved in a more aggressive direction. It pushes outward and feels less patient. The edges are sharper, the form is clearer, and it takes up space instead of pulling back. The gold becomes part of that push, adding to the sense of pressure rather than softening it.

Seen together, they feel like two ways of dealing with the same thing. One holds it in. The other finally pushes back. Neither feels better or worse. They just show different moments of response.

And of the Broken Heart you will Gain Wings to Fly

This piece comes from thinking about what happens after heartbreak, not in the dramatic moment, but in the quieter space that follows. The surface is filled with red hearts, layered and worn, because love and loss tend to repeat themselves. They build over time rather than simply fading away.

At the center, the grey heart is splitting. That moment matters to me. It feels like the turning point. From it, a silver heart begins to form wings, ready to lift away from what once held it in place. They are not meant to fix what broke. They represent what becomes possible because it did.

The metallic surfaces speak to resilience rather than repair. The damage is still there, but it has changed shape. It no longer carries the same weight.

There is one black heart at the edge of the piece, and it stays. Loss does not disappear with healing. It becomes part of the story you carry forward.

This work reflects the moment when pain stops being only heavy and starts to create movement. From what was broken, something lighter forms. From the heart that cracked, wings take shape, and flying becomes possible.

Where the Light Breaks Through

Nature has a way of shifting perspective without permission. Sun breaks through clouds. Wind clears the air. Shadows move and suddenly the shape of something changes. It’s not loud, but it’s unmistakable.

That’s the pause I keep coming back to. The moment when you stop pushing and overthinking and actually notice what’s happening around you. Perspective shifts without effort when you give it space. Clarity doesn’t need to announce itself. It shows up when you slow down enough to let it.

This is about trusting those small resets. Letting nature do what it does best, reminding you to breathe, recall, and move forward with a little more awareness than you had five minutes ago.

Window Seat

Window Seat is inspired by the quiet, reflective moments of air travel, when I look out the window and the world below shifts from detail to pattern. From cruising altitude, the land becomes geometry. Fields, roads, and neighborhoods soften into blocks of color and rhythm, shaped by both human design and natural growth.

In this piece, I wanted to capture that aerial perspective where structure is still present, but everything feels calmer and more expansive. The layered greens reference cultivated landscapes, while the subtle shifts in tone and texture reflect how nothing below is ever truly uniform, even when it looks organized from far away.

This painting is not about a specific place. It is about the experience of passing over many places, watching the earth arrange itself into quiet systems beneath you. It holds that in-between space of travel, where you are moving, yet still, and where time seems to slow just enough to really notice the patterns of the world.

Held in Motion

This piece brings me back to a lot of my travels, especially the places where everyday life depends on the kindness of strangers, small markets, shared rides, borrowed directions, and people helping each other get through the day. In those moments, you really see how much movement and effort it takes just to keep things going, even when the systems around you feel rigid or overwhelming.

The structured lines and patterns reflect those systems: the rules, the routines, the economies that try to keep everything organized and predictable. They sit around the edges, steady and repeating. But inside that, the center is layered, crowded, and always shifting. That part feels like people to me. Not calm, not chaotic, just constantly adjusting and carrying a lot at once.

Nothing in the piece is perfectly straight or settled, and that feels true to how life actually works. Even when things look stable from the outside, there is always movement underneath, always people figuring things out in real time.

Held in Motion is really about that balance, how we are supported and constrained by the structures around us, but it is the human connection and adaptability that keeps everything moving forward.

Under Pressure

This work came out of feeling pulled in different directions. The pressure of starting something and the pressure of finishing something at the same time. On the surface, the movement feels loose and confident, almost like it is just flowing. That part matters. I wanted it to look like things were moving easily.

Underneath that, the surface is busy and worked. There is a lot happening at once. Marks overlap, get pushed back, and come forward again. That reflects how it actually feels. Even when things look smooth from the outside, there can be a lot of weight underneath.

This work sits in that in-between space. Moving forward while feeling overwhelmed. Holding things together while still trying to let them move.
