This piece, inspired by The Orangutan Project in Sumatra, celebrates the deep emotional bond and quiet intelligence of these endangered primates. Through warm tones of orange and gold, I sought to capture both the vibrancy of their rainforest home and the fragile beauty of their existence. The layered patterns symbolize the interconnection between nature, humanity, and the spiritual energy that unites all living beings. My intention is to bring awareness to their vulnerability while honoring their gentle spirit and resilience.
Inspired by the iconic landscapes of Utah, this painting transforms its monumental rock formations into a vivid, dreamlike scene. Warm desert earth tones rise into sculpted mesas and buttes, instantly recalling the dramatic vistas of Monument Valley. Against a glowing turquoise sky, a large radiant sun—or celestial sphere—adds a surreal, otherworldly energy. Sweeping strokes of green and gold drift across the atmosphere, blending reality with imagination. The rich reds, oranges, and browns of the foreground capture the heat and rugged beauty of Utah’s desert terrain, creating a piece that feels both grounded in nature and elevated into a visionary realm.
The Cherry Orchard – Sold
30 in x 40 in
Mixed Media Acrylic on Canvas
This mixed media painting of a village with an orchard is a vibrant, textured, work that blends elements of folk art with cubism. It appears to be viewed from above, with some houses tilting and others tightly knitted together. The trees are rendered in whimsical, block-like forms.
The painting utilizes hand painted papers to add texture that supplements the sense of depth and movement created by expressive brushwork.
This painting is a reflection of nature’s raw beauty and its ability to evoke powerful emotions. The interplay of bold, energetic colors captures the fleeting moments of a sunset, where light, sky, and land come together in a harmonious dance. Through dynamic brushstrokes and contrasting hues, I aim to convey the sense of movement and transformation inherent in the natural world. The landscape becomes not just a physical space, but a place for introspection, where the viewer can connect to both the vastness and intimacy of the moment. Each stroke tells a story, inviting the viewer to step into the scene and experience the changing emotions that nature invokes.
Fire and Rain is a vibrant celebration of contrast and harmony. On one side, cool shades of blue and soft whites evoke refreshing rain showers, with delicate flowers blooming in lush green fields. On the other, fiery tones of orange, red, and gold radiate warmth, as wildflowers sway under a blazing sun. The painting’s dynamic, dotted textures and bold color shifts create a striking balance between calm and intensity, capturing the beauty found in nature’s extremes.
