Light, Movement & Depth: The Water Series

Born from a life lived in constant motion and wilderness curiosity, this series explores the quiet resilience of water—from the dancing light of underwater depths to abstract birds in flight over deep Prussian blues. Blended with atmospheric warmth in sienna, gray, and gold-yellow accents, these original oils capture the fluid energy of our natural world. Currently on exhibit at Galerie CAVA through September 11th, 2026.
