While packing boxes and carrying them up and down the stairs, I kept thinking about expansion, control, and presence and about what happens when we step into something larger than what we’ve known (regardless of whether you are an artist or a lawyer or are retired).

As I’ve discovered again and again, you can’t learn something until you’re truly ready to learn it—no matter how much effort you pour into trying.

Each new season carries its own kind of energy; sometimes quiet, sometimes restless, sometimes full of possibility. Fall has me feeling a pull toward working with color in a way that is more about pure sensation.

I’m excited to share a new collection featuring some of my favorite pieces this season. Each work reflects on the beauty of deep platonic love and the timeless question of whether such a bond could — or should — evolve into romance.

Rest assured there is a clear story for me embedded in EVERY abstract painting I create; something which I was feeling when the marks and strokes were flowing from my hands to the canvas.

I wanted to share my latest summer project as we go into the hottest and rainiest month of the summer!

Happy June to everyone and to those of you here in SWFL - Happy Off-Season! At last, we can all meet at a restaurant again without a 2 hour wait!
