The juror selected my paintings, Afterthought and Rider to be in the Little Winter Exhibit 2025

Afterthought (5 x 7 in.)

Afterthought is an intimate acrylic study that explores themes of distance, memory, and lingering introspection. Rendered on canvas in soft peach, muted teal, and dusty pink, the composition balances small distant figures with a prominent, floating surreal form. Bold outlines and abstract geometries interact to create a dreamlike horizon, capturing a quiet moment where reflection meets residual thought.

Rider (7 x 5 in.)

Rider is a small-format acrylic painting featuring two distinct, stylized figures layered in a tight, graphic composition. A pale yellow face with subtle, cat-like ears sits in the foreground, anchored by a prominent mint-green and red mask-like entity behind it. Radiating orange lines, beaded dots, and stacked geometric symbols along the left edge create a balanced grid, framing a playful exploration of connection, identity, and shared movement.
