Paradise Horizon Studies: Capturing the geometry of the earth
Release 5/30
Welcome to Paradise Horizon Studies.
This collection balances the fluidity of nature with the geometric planes of the horizon, serving as a visual study of how land, sea, and sky intersect to create a sense of calm.
“Palm Tree by the Shore” is an acrylic painting that highlights the geometry of the earth by comparing the vertical strength of a solitary palm tree against the horizontal expanse of the ocean. This artwork features a layered approach to the shoreline, where golden sands meet the white of crashing waves. The use of greens in the foreground foliage frames the sprawling blue horizon, emphasizing the vastness of the sea and bringing the serene energy of a coastal sanctuary into view.
In the acrylic painting “Arenal Volcano,” I wanted to explore its iconic presence and the triangular symmetry of volcanic peaks. Against a soft blue sky, the volcano’s rugged slopes contrast with the green canopy at its base. It is the centering of this massive form that allows the geometry of the peak to take center stage, capturing the power of the natural landscape.
I invite you to immerse yourself in these scenic observations and find the piece that resonates with your own rhythm. The full collection is now live in my online shop. I can’t wait to hear which one speaks to you.

Jungle Chromatics: The primary pulse of the rainforest
5/23 Release
Welcome to Jungle Chromatics.
This collection is my latest exploration of the energy and life found within the rainforest, focusing on greens and pops of primary color.
“Capuchin in the Canopy” is an acrylic painting that features a white-faced capuchin monkey settled amidst lush foliage. This work uses thick brushwork and layered greens to capture the complex, shaded reality of the jungle canopy. The intentional play between the monkey’s distinct white face and the surrounding deep, overlapping leaves creates a moment of curious encounter in the wild.
In the acrylic painting, “Macaw in the Jungle Canopy,” I wanted to capture the electric brilliance of tropical plumage of this majestic bird. Against a background of forest tones, you’ll find the macaw’s coat of red, yellow, and blue acting as a powerful focal point. It is the contrast between the bold feather colors and the vertical lines of its tail that gives this piece its unique visual pulse.
I invite you to immerse yourself in these colorful observations and find the piece that resonates with your own rhythm. The full collection is now live in my online shop. I can’t wait to hear which one speaks to you.

Beyond the Bloom: Tracing the edges of the garden
5/16 Release
Welcome to Beyond the Bloom.
This collection is a vibrant and expressive exploration of movement, texture, and the hidden structures of the garden, deconstructing natural beauty into its most energetic forms.
“Centrifugal Flora” is a floral abstract marker drawing that deconstructs the garden into rhythmic, geometric energy. This work uses overlapping circular motifs and radial patterns in a palette of magenta, forest green, and lime to simulate movement. It captures the force of nature, where petals and leaves appear to spin out from hidden centers.
In the painting “Green Frost,” I wanted to explore lush foliage and the arrival of winter. This piece utilizes a rich layering of deep greens overlaid with white bud patterns that mimic bioluminescent moss. It captures the edges of the garden where life persists under a frozen veil, creating a sense of resilient, glowing life.
Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of a single blossom, “Winter’s Pale Star” presents a high-contrast study of translucency and light. For this painting, I chose to highlight a singular white bloom with delicate pink accents set against a dark, forest-green backdrop. The composition emphasizes the fragility of the petals as they stand out against the depth of their surroundings.
I invite you to immerse yourself in these expressive abstractions and find the piece that resonates with your own rhythm. The full collection is now live in my online shop. I can’t wait to hear which one speaks to you.
