Where the Clouds Learned Her Name

She rests her cheek in her palm as clouds gather low, carrying forgotten memories and softened voices. Marked by small repairs and careful mends, she listens as the sky reminds her she is still here; unfinished, but present. A quiet moment about holding yourself together, even when things drift.

The Lantern-Tender

The Lantern-Tender captures a quiet moment of magic; an otherworldly figure drifting through twilight, coaxing fragile blossoms to glow with warmth and life. This piece explores how small acts of care can illuminate even the darkest dusk.

The Girl Who Carried Weather

A young weatherkeeper named Liri Bloom gathers light, wind, and color in small glass jars. When a heavy silence spreads across her town, she opens them to release a quiet glow of hope. Restoring balance to the world around her.

Frost and Found

I am excited to be participating in the Frost and Found show at the Valkarie Gallery. Frost and Found brings together a collection of works spanning intimate watercolor portraits, atmospheric landscapes, and surreal ink illustrations.

Wind Fish in Flight

There's something uniquely captivating about the gentle interplay of movement and stillness, captured in the medium of watercolor. This piece, "Wind Fish in Flight," portrays a whimsical wooden fish weather vane suspended in a soft, breezy sky.
