Clarity Collection
Pigment and varnish on fiberglass
21"x39.5" and 39.5"x43"
In the stillness of nature, solitude offers a sanctuary for quiet reflection, a rare pause from life’s clamor. Surrounded by whispering trees, rustling leaves, or a gentle stream, the mind finds clarity. Away from screens and schedules, one can breathe deeply, untangling thoughts that swirl in daily chaos. Nature’s vastness, towering mountains or endless skies, humbles the ego, reminding us of our small yet significant place in the universe. In these moments, solitude isn’t loneliness but a conversation with the self. The chirping birds or distant wind carry no judgment, allowing truths to surface: dreams, fears, or forgotten joys. This sacred pause fosters gratitude, as the heart syncs with the earth’s rhythm. Time spent alone in nature is not escape but reconnection, a chance to listen, heal, and rediscover purpose in the quiet embrace of the wild.
Boom Collection
Pigment and Varnish on Fiberglass
Image: 30.5"x39.5"
Frame: 33.5"x46"
A boom is the explosive outcome of a gateway opening, a surge of activity, innovation, or prosperity that reshapes the world. Booms are often unpredictable in their scope and impact, as they amplify the potential of the gateway far beyond initial expectations. They can manifest as economic growth, cultural shifts, or technological revolutions, but they often come with trade-offs, including disruption and inequality. The story of human progress is a story of gateways and booms, moments of breakthrough that unleash waves of transformation. The relationship between gateways and booms is not without tension. Booms often outpace society’s ability to adapt, leading to inequality, disruption, or unintended consequences. Gateways and booms are inherently linked. The former creates the conditions for the latter, but the latter often amplifies the gateway’s impact in unpredictable ways. This interplay is not linear but cyclical. Each boom lays the groundwork for new gateways.

In the natural world, booms and gateways weave a rhythm of flux and transformation. Booms are eruptions of life; desert blooms bursting after rain; invasive species surging; or supernovas scattering stardust. They are nature’s audacious crescendos, spilling into abundance or chaos. Gateways are liminal thresholds; twilight’s shift, a seed’s split, or a gene’s mutation, where life crosses into new forms. A river’s new path or a butterfly’s chrysalis marks these silent revolutions.

Booms ignite gateways; gateways birth booms. Nutrient surges spark microbial life, while thawing permafrost unleashes methane floods. Humanity’s booms, industrial sprawls, force unnatural gateways, like melting ice, rewriting Earth’s story. This dance of surge and passage is nature’s grammar, a restless symphony of creation and crossing. To live within it is to honor its rhythms, treading lightly through its thresholds and marveling at its flares.

In the vast choreography of the natural world, booms and gateways weave an abstract tapestry of flux and transition, where moments of eruption and thresholds of passage shape the unseen rhythms of existence. These are not mere events or places but forces cosmic pulses and liminal arcs that ripple through ecosystems, binding the ephemeral to the eternal. To speak of booms and gateways is to trace the breath of the Earth itself, where sudden crescendos of life and silent crossings into new states of being dance in an unending cycle.
Gateway Collection

13"x13"
Frame: 15.25"x15.25"
A gateway is a point of access, a mechanism or moment that enables a leap from one state to another. Gateways are characterized by their ability to remove barriers; geographical, intellectual, or economic; and create opportunities for exponential growth. They are not merely incremental improvements but paradigm shifts that reconfigure how societies operate. The gateway opens the door, but it is the boom that shapes the world beyond. Gateways and booms are inherently linked: the former creates the conditions for the
latter, but the latter often amplifies the gateway’s impact in unpredictable ways. This interplay is not linear but cyclical. Each boom lays the groundwork for new gateways.
Perception versus Perspective Collection
Varnish, pigment, fiberglass
30.25"x39.5" and 39"x59" and 39.5"x39.5"
Perception and perspective are two terms used interchangeably in casual conversation, yet they represent distinct concepts that shape how we understand and interact with the world. Both are rooted in the human experience, influencing our thoughts decisions, and relationships. However, perception refers to the sensory and cognitive process of interpreting information, while perspective is the broader viewpoint or mental framework through which we evaluate that information. Understanding the difference between these two ideas reveals how they work together to define our reality. Perception is inherently subjective because it is filtered through individual factors such as biology, emotions, and past experiences. This subjectivity means that two people can perceive the same event differently. Perspective, on the other hand, is a mental standpoint or attitude we adopt when interpreting our perceptions. It is less about the immediate sensory experience and more about the broader framework shaped by beliefs, values, culture, and life experiences- that we use to evaluate and contextualize what we perceive. Perspective is the “why” behind our reactions, the lens that gives meaning to the raw data of perception. While perception is about What we notice, perspective is about How we judge or understand it. Perspective tends to be more stable than perception because it is tied to deeper, more enduring aspects of identity, though it can evolve over time with new experiences or insights. The distinction between perception and perspective lies in their scope and function. Perception is immediate, sensory-driven, and focused on the present moment-it answers the question, “What am I experiencing?” Perspective, by contrast, is reflective, conceptual, and often forward-looking- it answers, “What does this mean to me?” Perception is the raw material; perspective is the story we tell ourselves about that material. In essence, perception and perspective are two sides of the same coin, each playing a vital role in how we navigate the world. Perception is the initial, sensory encounter with reality, while the mental framework that gives us meaning. Recognizing their differences allows us to better understand ourselves and others, as it reveals why two people can experience the same event yet walk away with entirely different interpretations. By examining both our perceptions and perspectives, we gain the power to question our assumptions, broaden our viewpoints, and engage more thoughtfully with the complexities of life.  
An Ideal Hope Collection
Acrylic on paper
8 3/4"x11 1/2"  |  22.2cmx29.2cm
Hope is a powerful force that enables individuals to persevere through challenges and envision a brighter future. I define hope as compromising belief, goals, and pathways, emphasizing its role in fostering resilience and determination. It is both a mindset and spiritual practice, helping people cope with hardships, focus on posit possibilities, and live mindfully. Hope is not passive; it requires action and preparation to achieve desired outcomes. Ultimately, hope inspires optimism, strengthens wellbeing and serves as a remedy for despair, making life meaningful even in adversity.
Portal Collection
Pigment and varnish on wood panel
10"x10"x2"
I am interested in exploring the notion of Time Portals. Addressing it is a doorway, gate, or entrance, especially a large and imposing one. During my time exploring and reflecting, the portal also becomes any point or place of entry, as one where nerves, vessels, enter an organ. Portals can represent vortices of energy, which allow matter to travel from one point in time to another. One obvious reason to linger in a portal is to give one the enjoyment and peace of being transported to another world.

Why it rains more on mountainsides?
    When air rises, its temperature falls. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air can, so reducing the temperature of the air raises its relative humidity (RH), which is the amount of water vapor present in the air as a percentage of the amount needed to laureate the air at that temperature.
    There is an altitude at which the RH in fishing air reaches 100 percent, and the air becomes saturated. This is called the “lifting condensation level.” When air rises above the lifting condensation level, its water vapor starts condensing to form clouds. When the clouds are big enough, their droplets or ice crystals merge until they are heavy enough to fall as rain or snow. No cloud forms or precipitation falls from air in which the RH is below 100 percent.
As air approaches the mountain it is forced to rise in order to cross the high ground. This is called ‘Orographic lifting’ (from the Greek words Oros, meaning ‘mountain,’ and graphs, meaning ‘writing’ or ‘written’.) The air is dry until it is lifted above the lifting condensation level when cloud starts to form and precipitation begins to fall on the mountainside. The air continues to rise and more cloud forms. This intensifies the precipitation, but only on the mountainside, fine weather continues over the low ground.
    When the rising air reaches the top of the mountain, it may continue to rise or may subside down the opposite side (lee) of the mountain. It is continues rising, eventually it will lose enough water for precipitation to end, although cloud may extend some distance on the lee side. If the air subsides, it will sink below the lifting condensation level once more. Precipitation will then cease, and the cloud will dissipate as its droplets evaporate. The overall result is that mountainsides receive more precipitation than the low ground surrounding the mountain does.

Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. For this to happen, the parcel of air must be saturated, i.e. unable to hold all the water it contains in vapor form, so it starts to condense into a liquid or solid form. Clouds are very important and help make the Earth habitable. Clouds can cool the planet by reflecting the sun's rays, or warming the planet especially on cold cloudy nights. Clouds are also important at how water moves around the Earth, and where it rains most or very little. Even though a cloud weighs tons, it doesn't fall on you because the rising air responsible for its formation keeps the cloud floating in the air. The air below the cloud is denser than the cloud, thus the cloud floats on top of the denser air nearer the land surface. Without clouds, average surface temperatures would rise by as much as 22 degrees Celsius. This extreme temperature spike would not only destroy the habitats of most flora and fauna, killing off whatever survived the drought, it would also melt the polar ice caps and cause massive flooding of coastal cities.

Why spending Time alone is Positive.
    Growth is intricately intertwined with the growth of the collective. As we nurture our individual selves, we contribute to the collective consciousness, causing a positive ripple effect of positive change in the world around us.
    Amidst the noise of the external world, silence becomes a sacred pause, a moment of communion with the Universe. In this stillness we hear the echoes of our own heartbeats, the whispers of our soul, and the universal rhythms that bind us all.
We also find the space to dream and to envision a life that aligns with our truest desires.
We cast away the limitations imposed by external expectations and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie before us.
    It is in this sacred space of creation that we realize we hold the brush to paint the canvas of our destiny. As we cultivate a profound connection with ourselves, we become more authentic and present in our interactions with others. For when we engage in relationships from a place of self awareness, we form bonds that are built on honesty, empathy, and respect. At first glance, the notion of being alone may seem at odds with the pursuit of fulfilling relationships. After all, connection with others is the very essence of Human existence, indeed it is. But it is through the process of being alone that we unlock the door or portal to genuine connections. We begin to cultivate emotional intelligence, enabling ourselves to understand and empathize with our own feelings and those of others. Emotional intelligence serves as the bridge that connects us to the hearts of others, fostering genuine connections based on compassion and understanding.
    When we understand our emotions and needs, we can articulate them clearly and authentically to others.
This open and honest exchange creates a safe space for vulnerability and trust to flourish. Spending Time alone has great value.

The Leaf Collection
Acrylic and Collage on wood panel
Size: 9 3/4" x 11 3/4"

       From the perspective of a Bird, I soar through the skies, my wings beating effortlessly as I gaze down at the world below. From my vantage, everything looks different. I see the intricate patterns of the landscape, the winding roads, and the tiny buildings that seem like toys. Seeing the world from above as I fly, I notice things that would be invisible from the ground. I see the way the light reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect that's mesmerizing. I see the shapes of the clouds, the way they morph and change as the wind blows. And I see the vast expanse of the earth, stretching out before me like an endless canvas.
A new perspective having a bird's eye view changes everything. I see the world in a new light, literally. I see the relationships between things that would be invisible from the ground. I see the way the world is connected, the way everything is intertwined.
And I see the beauty in the smallest details, the way a single leaf can be a work of art. Flying high as I soar through the skies, I feel free. I feel like I can see everything, like I have a bird's eye view of the entire world. And in a way, I do. I see the world from a
perspective that few others can experience. And it's a perspective that's full of wonder, full of awe, and full of beauty.
