Empowerment is the ability to refine, improve, and enhance your life without co-dependency.

Tumultuous clouds sail across a fractured sky,
Far beyond, sunlight pierces ominous shrouds,
Russet and gold unlock love's language,
Terraced canopies plunge toward cascading torrents,
A satin mirror cradles revelations,
Peace and stillness cling like a duet.

Autumn Yosemite Valley

Summer's tides turn to memories,
Autumn arrives with a hushed sigh,
Where honeyed gold and cognac amber blaze,
Shadows lengthen through russet days,
A confetti carpet drinks earth’s rich palette,
As anticipation gathers in a cinnamon haze.

Full Moon. Starry Daisies. 16 x 12”, painting on canvas. Framed by a section of window pane, the full moon glows. Acting as stars on their own, black-eyed Susans share their luminosity as well.
The Ethereal Passing, 24 x 20”, painting on canvas. Stopped for a moment we are. As time slowly progresses, it leaves with us an eternal memory of visual ecstasy to delight the senses.
Jewel Of The Night, 24 x 20”, painting on canvas.
Enamored by the beauty of a romantic full moon, a sojourner contemplates life and the mystery of this timeless jewel of the night.
ALT Spring Hillside Above the Lake is an atmospheric watercolor landscape featuring a solitary tree overlooking a tranquil lake surrounded by rolling green hills and distant blue mountains. Soft spring light reflects across the water, creating a peaceful and contemplative scene that evokes the quiet beauty of the countryside.
Painted in a contemporary watercolor style with expressive brushwork and luminous washes, this landscape uses a harmonious palette of fresh greens, lavender, violet, soft blues, and warm cream tones. The winding path and dramatic tree silhouette invite the viewer into the composition, suggesting themes of renewal, solitude, and connection with nature.
Ideal for lake house, cottage, farmhouse, and nature-inspired interiors, this serene watercolor landscape brings a sense of calm and timeless beauty to any space.
In the reprieve at the end of a day, in the stillness of an evening, the world sheds its categories, the insistence of its future, and is suspended solely in the lilt of its desire.

ALT A lively spray of red bougainvillea fills a transparent glass vase in this expressive and unconventional floral painting. The loosely painted papery bracts, delicate stems, and scattered green leaves spread outward against a softly textured aqua and seafoam background, creating a composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully balanced.
The vivid crimson and scarlet bougainvillea contrast beautifully with the cool turquoise and pale green surroundings. The transparent geometric vase and understated architectural surface beneath it add a simple structural element to the loose organic forms of the flowers.
With its bold color, airy negative space, and relaxed painterly treatment, this bougainvillea painting offers a fresh, contemporary interpretation of a familiar flowering plant. It would bring vibrant color and a distinctive botanical character to a variety of interiors.
