The Sea is Calling is a vibrant celebration of coastal daydreams, starring the iconic conch shell in all its glory—sun-bleached on the outside, blushing pink within, like it’s keeping the ocean’s best secrets. Swirling with painterly strokes of coral, sand, and seafoam green, this shell looks like it just tumbled ashore with something to say.

And if you listen closely, you might just hear it: the splash of a distant wave, the call of gulls overhead, or a whispered invitation to ditch your shoes and follow the tide. Equal parts souvenir and siren song, this piece brings a little salty magic wherever it hangs.

This seascape composition features a calm turquoise ocean below soft mid-day white-capped clouds. In nature, turquoise swirls indicate the presence of marine life, tracing the flow of water currents and eddies—which typically reach their peak abundance in springtime.

Turquoise Swimming Hole is a joyful abstraction that channels the carefree spirit of summer and the refreshing embrace of hidden waters. Cool splashes of turquoise and seafoam swirl through a soft, sun-bleached palette—echoing the dappled light, fluttering reflections, and fleeting movement of a secluded freshwater escape. Grid-like marks and fluid gestures suggest both the geometry of memory and the spontaneity of play. This piece captures that perfect moment: toes in the water, laughter on the breeze, and time slipping away in ripples. A celebration of freedom, lightness, and the beauty of being immersed.

Umbrellas captures the charm and rhythm of a sun-soaked beach day, where a cheerful parade of colorful umbrellas lines the shore like a seaside patchwork quilt. Each shape and shade—striped, scalloped, round, or tilted—tells its own little story of sandcastles, coolers, books, and naps beneath the sun. Beyond the playful geometry, calm aqua waves stretch into the distance under a sky of soft, drifting clouds. Lighthearted and nostalgic, this painting celebrates the rituals of summer leisure and the quiet joy of simply being by the sea.

This work was inspired and adapted from the "Voynich Manuscript," a 15th century codex hand-written in an unknown writing system, which may have been composed in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance.  The mystery of the meaning and origin of the manuscript has excited the popular imagination, making the manuscript the subject of novels and speculation.
Venetian sea shells feature in two compositions in this collection:  Venice Four Shells and Venice Map.
Prior to emerging as a dominant military, financial, and cultural powerhouse, the ancient origins of Venice were that of a quiet maritime community of sailors and fishermen. Its name comes from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by 1,000 BC. Apart from the city-state’s many cultural and historic treasures, the beauty of nature and wonder of the seas is an integral part.
In fact, Lido de Venezia, an 11-kilometre sandbar off the southern tip of Venice, was one of Europe’s most acclaimed destinations for gathering sea shells, which inspire this composition.

This five-part botanical series draws inspiration from the enigmatic “Voynich Manuscript,” a 15th-century codex shrouded in mystery and written in an unknown language. The artwork reimagines the manuscript’s surreal herbal illustrations through a contemporary painterly lens—imbuing each plant with layered symbolism and mythical associations.

With visual references to Amethyst Basil, Laurel, Nerium Oleander, Sunflower, and Thistle, the series bridges natural science, alchemy, and spiritual lore. The stylized forms and soft antique tones echo Renaissance herbals, yet the dreamlike rendering invites open interpretation—what is medicinal, what is mystical, and what is merely imagined?

Together, the panels offer a poetic meditation on forgotten knowledge, healing traditions, and the beauty of cryptic language growing wild in an allegorical meadow.

Where Is My Mind is a joyful anthem to escape, sun, and sweet surrender. Drifting across shimmering green water in a giant pink flamingo float, the figure in this painting leans back, hat low, letting the world melt away. Set against a backdrop of lush trees and bright skies, it’s a tribute to the healing magic of simply getting outside—and doing it your way.

Born from a moment of needing to breathe, to move, to reclaim joy, this piece reminds us that sanity isn’t found in the to-do list—it’s floating, unapologetically fabulous, on a flamingo in the middle of nowhere. A little wild, a little whimsical, and totally free.

White Birds is a gentle, dreamlike composition that captures a fleeting moment of stillness and grace. With soft strokes and a delicate palette, the piece evokes a sky filled with quiet motion—white birds drifting weightlessly through pale light and open air. Their forms, abstract yet unmistakable, suggest purity, freedom, and the beauty of unspoken connection.

There is a hush to this painting, a feeling of breath held and time suspended. Whether seen as a flock mid-flight or a memory taking shape, White Birds invites the viewer into a serene space where presence and possibility meet.

This delicate botanical bouquet is a modern interpretation following in the Flemish baroque genre. A refined arrangement of fresh white roses seizes the focal point, symbolizing honesty, purity, and perfection—contrasted by rich greenery, symbolizing renewal, nature, and energy.

White Oak is a quiet meditation on resilience and renewal, capturing the stark beauty of branching forms revealed in winter. This monochromatic composition traces the intricate architecture of a white oak’s bare limbs, emphasizing the silent complexity of nature’s design. In their dormancy, these branches evoke both strength and surrender—reminding us that rest is part of growth. Long revered as symbols of endurance and wisdom, oaks stand as living witnesses through generations. Here, their wintry silhouette becomes a graceful network—both mysterious and enduring—whispering of seasons past and those yet to come.

Cheerful sunlit skies gently bask a delicate verdant landscape with accents and shadows while pinkish ethereal clouds slowly inch across the distant horizon.

The colorful collection of yard birds that grace this composition feature pinks, greens, yellows, and violets against a subtle ethereal background.  This scene evokes the joy in the loving act of keeping yard bird feeders faithfully stocked to attract such wondrous creatures for our daily delight.
