Transforming Spaces with Original Art since 1995 - from Living to Legacy:

The Violet flame - 80” x 64” acrylic and gold leaf on wood

The Violet Flame rises from meditation on divine protection and awakening, where luminous violet lilies ascend through silver clouds toward a radiant halo of light. Peacock feathers—ancient symbols of spiritual vision and immortality—surround the blossoms, suggesting the opening of higher awareness and the quiet transformation of the soul into high level consciousness.

This painting was created on three wood panels - remnants from a temple - transformed into art.

“Breathe”. 69” x 95” ACRYLIC, GOLD LEAF ON vinyl - currently available for placement, dm with inquiries.

“The way to happiness is:

keep your heart free from hate,

your mind from worry.

Live simply, give much.

Fill your life with love.

Do as you would be done by.”

Gautama Buddha

For me, painting is meditation in action. It is a lifetime of focused intention to witness and create beauty. My goal for this series was to make statement pieces that are architectural in scale, contemplative in design but also an organic, gestural expression of the natural world.

The gift of an artist is a unique vision—the power to transform emptiness into form and meaning.

Large-scale works for elevated interiors and architectural spaces

The Sanctuary Paintings - These large scale works were created during a time of stillness and reflection. They transform the environment into bold color with wild botanicals, gold light, and skies that speak to renewal, resilience, and beauty. Each painting is deeply spiritual, highly symbolic and firmly rooted in nature.

Painting is my language. As a multi-media artist, I often use unconventional materials ranging from rescued closet doors to vinyl remnants to found objects. I use acrylic paint, spray paint, oil crayons, and goal leaf with the intention to create lasting beauty where there once was nothing.

Inspired vision into creative action.

In a world where children are told not to draw on walls, I feel lucky to have a career where I get paid to draw and paint on walls.
