Refreshed by the Sea diptych

"Refreshed by the Sea"
Every crashing wave feels like a spark—nature’s way of sharing its boundless energy. The rolling water churns with force, as if the ocean itself invites us to absorb its strength. The salty air invigorates the senses, the sound of waves echoing a call to awaken, recharge, and dive into the day ahead. Energy flows through each ripple, reminding us to face challenges with the same force and fluidity.

Take a moment to breathe in the power of the sea. Let the waves wash away exhaustion, replacing it with vibrant energy, ready to fuel whatever lies ahead.

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.
