 A leopard can’t change its spots.
Good thing I’m not a leopard. Resonant Earth (2026) Mixed media on canvas 48” x 30”  What a night!
Fearless Abstract Painting at Gallery MAR with the Marcella Club was a resounding success! Thank you to everyone who showed up with open minds and open hearts. Painting fearlessly with bold roller strokes in such a stunning venue, surrounded by beautiful art, was truly inspiring. Grateful for every brave creator who joined us.  The years I spent in Hawaii — building an off-grid home on the Big Island, experiencing the 2018 Kīlauea eruption, and learning to live in constant change — remain some of the most formative of my life and practice.
There, I learned to collaborate with the land itself. I floated canvases in the ocean, collected volcanic ash and black sand, and watched lava reshape the landscape. The work that emerged was raw, resilient, and deeply rooted in place — lessons I still carry into every painting I make today. Hawaii taught me that true grounding often comes after the ground itself has moved. These experiences continue to inform my topographic abstractions and my belief in art as a form of alchemy and renewal.  Raw | Elegant | Poetic
A floating art gallery on Maui. Paintings suspended in the pool as a magnificent sunset unfolds. Do I keep them afloat, or do they keep me afloat? In truth, we are inexorably connected.  A beautiful evening of color, texture, and fearless creation by the ocean. So grateful for everyone who showed up and painted with an open heart.
Maui magic continues…  Deep Joy (2026)
60" x 60" | Mixed media on canvas A large-scale commission completed for a Park City collector. Layers of translucent glazes of burnished gold and silver to create a luminous surface. I love how the curated color palette of charcoal, cognac, and champagne brings warmth and depth to the piece. Grateful to Gallery MAR for facilitating this wonderful project.  Two New Paintings (2026)
My inspiration for these works began with a single, perfect moment — biting into a ripe fig warmed by the summer sun. That lush burst of deep purple and soft pink opened into warm neutrals and luminous gold. The paintings carry that same sun-drenched feeling — textured surfaces that feel beautifully time-worn, as though they’ve absorbed seasons of light and memory. I delight in the thought of introducing these pieces into modern interiors — the rich, organic warmth against clean lines and minimal spaces creates such a joyful, living contrast.  Heart-Mind Medicine (2026)
36” x 60” | Mixed media on canvas This piece was created after a trip to Santa Fe with Gallery MAR. I pressed Milagros into wet plaster, then baked the surface under the desert sun. Up close, foraged sawdust and subtle textures remain visible. Milagros is a Spanish word meaning “miracles” or “wonders.” In Latin American and Spanish folk traditions, these small votive offerings are used as petitions for healing, protection, or guidance — and as expressions of gratitude when prayers are answered. The work feels like both prayer and medicine — a convergence of cultural memory, material transformation, and the deep alchemy of the heart-mind.  This quarter brought a quiet deepening in the studio.
These works continue my exploration of material memory — layers of iron-rich Utah dirt, plaster, and gold pigment baked under the desert sun, creating luminous surfaces that shift with light. They speak to the beauty of surrender, transformation, and the radiance that rises from deep grounding.  Grounded Radiance (2026)
60” x 48” | Mixed media on canvas Layers of iron-rich Utah dirt, plaster, and gold pigment were baked beneath the desert sun. When water mixes with the gold pigment, a natural oxidation occurs, creating spontaneous and welcome greens. This piece was made in harmony with nature — allowing the materials their own agency to change, transform, and reveal unexpected beauty. A quiet convergence where heaven meets earth. |
