The barn in the rain exudes an array of emotions and an enchanting allure through the strokes of the painted masterpiece. As the rain cascades, a sense of tranquility pervades the scene. The vibrant brushstrokes animate the farm depicted, a vivid portrayal of its vitality and relaxing silence of the landscape. Captured in this dynamic moment, the image serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of persevering in the face of adversity and uncertainty, urging us to forge ahead despite the obstacles and doubts that hinder our path.

My Rain and Shine oil painting series is based on photos combined as a play between reality and abstraction. Influenced by the Bokeh effect of the blur created by out of focus images, I've spent many a rainy day photographing the world through my windshield as an inspiration for my rain paintings.

Water and light combine to create a sense of peace and momentum.

In these moments, I'm reminded to take a minute to just be. To pause and appreciate life as it is, and to recognize the beauty of the present moment. To allow myself to feel the fullness of life and to recognize the power of the present.

Images from nature continue to inspire my work through landscapes, beach scenes and unique flower compositions. My work has been exhibited in galleries and juried shows in Washington DC, London, Burlington VT, Arizona, Prague.
