This piece began its journey in 2023, much like the magnolia buds that linger through the chill of winter, waiting patiently for their time to bloom. Life intervened, and the painting was set aside, unfinished—dormant, much like its subject.
In early 2025, I returned to it, reawakening the brushstrokes and allowing the piece to unfold. The magnolias - soft yet resilient - speaking renewal, patience, and the beauty that emerges after a season of stillness.
"From Dormancy" is as much about the act of painting as it is about the subject itself—a reminder that growth and beauty often come after

My work is drawn to the places where light feels hidden – places marked by ache, quiet questions, or things unsaid. I tend to linger there, not out of despair, but because I believe beauty and hope can penetrate the dark and change everything.
"It only takes a single photon of light to pierce utter darkness – just one. In a world that can seem to grow dimmer, I paint to reveal, not manufacture, that quiet, unrelenting presence of light – a real hope grounded in truth."
