“Before the Light Speaks”

captures the sacred stillness just before revelation—the quiet moment where presence is felt, though nothing has yet been said.

Emerging from layered shadow and softened light, the owl stands as a silent witness—watchful, grounded, and deeply aware. It exists in that in-between space where darkness is not empty, but full… where something unseen is near, steady, and certain.

This piece reflects the gentle truth that even in silence, we are held. That before clarity comes, before light breaks through, there is a presence that watches over us—unwavering, constant, and unseen.

It is in this stillness… that we are known.

Scripture: Psalm 121:4
“He who watches over you will neither slumber nor sleep.”

“Soft Echos”

Some paintings are seen.
Some are felt.
And some are built on love.

This soft echo was created to live beside Unexpected Florals — lighter, airier, with intentional space to breathe. But before the blues began to bloom, before the petals opened in fluid motion, I laid the true foundation.

In the very first layers, I wrote their names — John and Matthew.
Their wedding date.
The day they moved into their home.

While the paint was still wet, I folded those words into the composition — binding them between washes of ivory and tides of blue. Hidden, yet forever present. Not visible to the eye, but essential to the soul of the piece.

Now their story rests beneath every petal, woven into the movement, fused into the flow.
They are not only collectors of this work —
they are part of its foundation.

Art holds memory.
And this one holds theirs. 🤍

Some paintings take unexpected turns... and this one is extra special because of that.

“Speak Your Freedom” was originally headed in a completely different direction - until a comment from @shananigans711 inspired me to pivot, trust the pull, and let it become the horse it was meant to be. That shift changed everything. This piece became about strength, movement, and the wild courage it takes to use your voice.

To the incredible collector who brought this home- thank you. Thank you for connecting with the story, the transformation, and the freedom woven into every layer.

And Shana... thank you for being part of the spark that shaped this piece.

Art has a way of knowing where it wants to go - we just have to listen.

“Unbroken.”

This painting was deeply inspired by Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken — a story that has stayed with me for years. The grit. The courage. The refusal to quit even when everything feels shattered.

That film reminds me that strength isn’t loud — it’s stubborn. It’s choosing to rise again when the fall should have ended you.

As I painted this horse, I kept thinking about that kind of heart.
Wild. Determined. Scarred maybe — but never defeated.

The movement is chaotic. The colors are bold.
But the eye holds steady.

To be unbroken doesn’t mean you haven’t been tested.
It means you decided you’re still standing.

If this speaks to you, my DMs are open. ✨

“No Boundaries”

After a few weeks of living in the precision of graphite and realism, this felt like an exhale.

No tight edges. No measured lines. Just movement, flow, and the freedom to let the paint spill past every boundary.

Fluid art reminds me that control is a skill — but release is just as powerful. 💙✨

This 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas is now available.

If its movement and quiet freedom speak to you, I would love for it to find a home where it can breathe and be enjoyed daily.

Send me a DM for details 🤍

“Speak Your Freedom” 🤍🐎
✨update: sold

This painting began as a bird during the LiveSafe benefit, but inspiration has a way of redirecting truth. Thanks to the creative spark from Shana Gould, it took a beautiful and unexpected turn—becoming a horse, a symbol of strength, movement, and unapologetic freedom.

Live in the moment, this piece is a reminder that freedom isn’t always planned—it’s felt, followed, and spoken through the work.

If this piece speaks to you, “Speak Your Freedom” is available for purchase.
As a thank you to LiveSafe Resources, 10% of the sale will be donated to support their important work.

Feel free to DM me for details 🤍

“Polly” | 16in x 20in | acrylic on canvas

Painting one of the Mastery Program is complete.
While animal subjects aren’t typically where my heart lives, this piece challenged me creatively and taught me a lot. Not every painting has to be your favorite to be meaningful—and I’m already grateful for how this program is pushing me outside my comfort zone and shaping me into a stronger, more well-rounded artist.
This painting is available and would love a home of its own as I move forward into the next phase of the project. —DM me if it speaks to you and you’d like to give it a home.

“Florals Abstract”

This piece lives at the intersection of rebellion and becoming.
As part of my Black Sheep Series, I signed my name backwards—an intentional act of honoring the parts of myself that never quite fit the mold, yet led me here.

The abstract background holds the history: layered, restless, unapologetically imperfect. From that movement, new florals emerged—soft but resilient—shaped by the master class in abstract florals through the Milan Art Institute. What began with technique started to became intuition, allowing the florals to surface organically rather than be forced.

This series is about choosing your own language, trusting your inner rhythm, and allowing beauty to rise in unexpected ways. Sometimes the most honest growth happens when you stop trying to belong and start listening instead.

Introducing the “Black Sheep Series”

I am dyslexic. Long before I had the language to name it, art became my voice.

By second grade, written language felt elusive—letters refused to stay still. They shifted, reversed, and danced across the page. Writing was not something I could access in the prescribed way, so I adapted instinctively by drawing letters instead. In my mind, language existed as shape, movement, and form rather than sequence. What I could not articulate as a child, I now understand: my brain processes text from right to left, with letters appearing reversed.

The Black Sheep Series emerges from this lived experience. In this body of work, I write and sign my name exactly as I have always seen it—backwards, right to left—honoring my natural perception rather than correcting it. This act is both personal and defiant. Learning to read and write “the right way” required relentless effort and remains a daily negotiation. Even with familiarity and sight recognition, comprehension carries a deeper complexity that is rarely visible from the outside.

Growing up in a generation where learning differently was labeled a disability, I internalized the idea that my way of seeing was something to overcome. Through this series, I challenge that narrative. These paintings reclaim dyslexia as a distinct visual language—one rooted in intuition, adaptation, and resilience.

This work celebrates the beauty of being the black sheep. By exposing my name as I have always known it, I invite viewers to reconsider what it means to read, to understand, and to belong.

So happy with how this commission came together. Creams and soft neutrals move like quiet shallows, while deep blues surge and recede—layering into a rhythm that mirrors the pull of ocean tides. A constant ebb and flow, suspended in motion.

“unexpected florals”

Working with fluid paint demands patience—and surrender.
When the canvas isn’t perfectly level, the paint will move on its own terms… sometimes right off the surface. That happened to me recently, and it was a true gut punch.

I had to step back, breathe, and reintroduce paint to the canvas. In doing so, something unexpected emerged: florals. They weren’t planned or sketched or controlled. They revealed themselves only when I let go and allowed the paint to find its place.

Moments like this remind me why I trust the process. What feels like a setback can become a quiet unveiling—proof that release often leads to discovery.

“Field of Blue Poppies”

A commissioned field of blue poppies, created with intention and memory.
Inspired by the blue-tinted lenses I wore in elementary school to help me read—where blue once brought clarity, I hope this work offers the same sense of calm and focus. A visual pause, grounded in softness, movement, and peace.

“Be the Black Sheep”

This painting was born from a moment of recognition. The words “You are allowed to be the first person in your family to do things in a different way” echoed deeply as I worked, unfolding into limited colors and movement

Growing up, difference was not a choice—it was a reality. Learning with dyslexia, photosensitive perception, and attention challenges meant the world was always filtered differently for me. Lines didn’t follow expected paths. Focus moved in waves. Questions surfaced where answers were assumed. That experience lives in this piece.

The composition embraces contrast and disruption, reflecting what it means to move against the current—to swim upstream, to question, to exist outside the familiar pattern. There is tension, but also clarity. What once felt isolating now reads as intentional, even necessary.

Be the Black Sheep is not about rebellion for its own sake. It is about permission. Permission to be different, to ask, to see the world through an unshared lens. It is an acknowledgment that uniqueness may set you apart—but it also sets you free.

Absolutely loved creating this piece. The vibrant colors and the way the paint flowed. Swiping with the black just brought so much depth and the colors just popped!

2025 artwork recap: In the last two days of 2025 I sold two paintings! This is my biggest highlight! You never know how your art is going to be received, especially after taking a 27 year hiatus of intentional art work. Sure, I had a few paintings here and there but none that felt “authentic”. As we head into 2026 my focus is to allow my art to continue to grow, develop, and evolve into my recognizable style. Goals will be adding in different medias. I am so incredibly thankful for all the support. And as I am completely new to the social media “content creating” game, I am so thankful to this amazing #artcommunity that continues to inspire and truly support one another. Cheers 🥂 2026!!

“sawgrass sunset”

working the florida palette 🎨 and expressing the movement and vibe of “she’s not done yet.” as we mold and grow and change, we are not done yet. we are all in the process of arriving. enjoy the journey and with each sunset a new sunrise is waiting.

“sawgrass-1”

layers and layers of a story being told. so many memories of “the sawgrass” being dripped and splattered across the canvas. @milanart.gallery @milanartinstitute , with the florida palette meaning so much more to me than sunset vibes and teal waters. i hope to bring to life across the canvas the power of healing through art and of voices being heard and no longer silenced.

“it’s giving starry night vibes”

largest painting i’ve done in at least 20 years. enjoying this process of fluid paints and finding the perfect consistency and playing around with different mediums. i’m not sure this is in its complete state yet. considering adding layers of details but for now it was giving me starry night vibes. ✨

“overworked”

this poor canvas went through it. I took on a challenge by the incredible artist @kristian.juul

“So here’s my challenge to you: intentionally make one of these 3
“mistakes” today. Overwork a canvas.
Paint something “ugly”. Destroy a piece that drains your energy. But do it with conviction!!”

totally overworking this canvas, i allowed myself to flow into the “ugly”. so much harder than it looks. i do not like this piece. it drained my energy over 3 days. but i learned to let go of so much. thankful for this journey.

“itty bitty blue”

first time on such a small canvas. kinda wish i did not blow out the swipe but had stretched it instead. thoughts for a new day.
really enjoyed the restraint and planning it takes to work in such a smaller area.

“inspired by whimsey”

measuring by scale instead of with cups was a game changer. thankful for @kanella.ciraco.art and her video on this. 🙌
all the pearlescent paints with the bits of shimmer made it all whimsical for me. thank you for the inspiration @rachel.s.willis 🖤

“waste not pour 2” -pt. 1 (SOLD)

background: using the collection of paints that have been blown off, spilt, tilted, and spun off from other artwork. the large poppy was a “emptying out” of colors and cell activators previously mixed for other works. super anxious to see how it dries. 🫣this is piece is unfinished. (as with so many others lol)
i’m excited to add gold leaf. it will be the only non up-cycled medium used. second video coming soon.

“waste not pour 1”

fluid art, pour techniques create a lot of waste. in efforts to keep waste low, i scraped and saved the overflow paint. this “waste” is from two paintings. honestly was not sure what to expect. i knew the paint was thicker from having set for a couple days. poured onto a painted canvas, then stretched. I love the way it moved slowly and gave its own unique shape.
