Open a portal of hope on your wall

Inspired by the vibrant colors of South Florida, I began painting years ago after a powerful dream. In it, I saw a vision of light pushing back darkness. This experience sparked a series of expressive paintings, capturing the light and resilience I felt within.

My works explore the full spectrum of emotions – joyful bursts of yellow, calming washes of blue – reflecting the interplay of light and shadow in life. Each painting is a word of encouragement, meant to uplift, inspire, or comfort. They’re abstract, meant for you to fill in the details with your own ideas and story. 

Through my brushstrokes, I want you to see the balance of light and dark, to feel a flicker of hope peeking through, sometimes subtle, sometimes bold. My artwork aims to be a daily reminder of that hope, a visual portal you can step through and find solace.

And if you see an original, notice that the canvases themselves are quite unique! My partner, Dan, handcrafts each one from plywood, infusing every cut and join with care. These are not just paintings; they're three-dimensional pieces with depth and character.
