Sonata is a bold, expressionistic piece that weaves melody, form, and symbolism into a vivid visual composition. Saturated color fields of red, green, and yellow set a dramatic stage for two figures—one playing a stringed instrument and the other offering a yellow bird—exploring themes of harmony, performance, and companionship.

The juror selected my painting, Meridian, to be in the August Open Exhibit 2026

“Meridian” is an exploration of the boundaries we draw within ourselves. It asks where the city ends and the soul begins, using a bold, eclectic palette to define the various “time zones” of the human psyche. The artwork suggests that we are not a single entity, but a collection of intersecting experiences, each flowing along its own unique coordinate.

The juror selected my painting, Magician, to be in the March Open Exhibit 2026

“Magician” evokes a sense of wonder and transformation, perhaps hinting at the unseen forces at play in a magician’s craft. The central, almost mask-like form seems to be in a state of flux, emanating or receiving energies represented by the surrounding abstract elements. The composition features a curious blend of scientific-looking diagrams and fantastical organic growths, creating a tension between logic and intuition. It’s a painting that feels both ancient and futuristic, suggesting a world where anything is possible.
