Sunrise

*Sunrise* beautifully captures the serene moment when the first light of day graces the ocean. The warm hues of the rising sun dance across the water's surface, creating a shimmering reflection that contrasts with the darker tones of the gently rolling waves. The sky, painted in soft shades of gold, orange, and blue, is dotted with delicate clouds that catch the early morning light. This piece invites viewers to experience the peaceful stillness of dawn, where the world seems to hold its breath in the quiet anticipation of a new day.

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.
