Fully Drenched

Fully Drenched, captures the raw insistence of persistence: each layer of paint is a small triumph over the whispering dark inside. Artists often paint through exhaustion to prove that effort is its own kind of light. Shadowed forms press at the edges of the canvas—thoughts that want to pull the subject under—but the composition keeps the eye fixed on forward motion: The painting refuses surrender, celebrating the messy, stubborn courage of staying in the game until the breathing steadies and the next step becomes possible.

Over the Rainbow

This large abstract painting has a heart beat, nostalgia is embedded in its rhythm. Comfort and discomfort settle together, compromising in large drips and fluid paint paths. Disruption means problems have been solved.
