Paintings
Invoke & Imbibe
My work for Invoke & Imbibe channels the radiant, untamed spirit of the Maenads through movement, ritual, and mythic symbolism. Dancing Through Dreamlight captures the transcendence of joy as a force, lifting us into the realm of the divine. In Muse in Motion, the body becomes a vessel of pure, ecstatic expression. Vine and Vessel evokes communion and sisterhood, where sensuality and sacred rites intertwine.
Each painting is a celebration of feminine energy—fluid, fierce, and unapologetically alive. I use soft, luminous washes to summon a dreamlike atmosphere where transformation unfolds not as a concept, but as a lived, felt experience. Through these works, I invite the viewer to revel in beauty, abandon, and the quiet power of inner awakening.

Golden Hour
This painting is a tribute to the warm, fleeting moments of childhood—those timeless days spent with my parents and younger sisters, gathered in the park overlooking the Hudson River. We would pause together as the sun dipped low, casting everything in gold—the trees, the water, our faces.
In this piece, I tried to capture the way that light wraps around those we love, how sunsets can make even an ordinary evening unforgettable. The bridge in the background was always part of the view, a silent presence linking one place to another, just as love links one generation to the next.
Golden Hour is both a personal reflection and an offering—a reminder of how community begins in these small, tender moments with family, in the places we return to through our memories.

Dog Portraits
Dogs have always held a sacred, joyful space in my life—as companions, muses, and quiet mirrors of our own emotions. In this ongoing watercolor series, I celebrate the distinct beauty, personality, and spirit of different dog breeds, with a special focus on my own beloved companions.
Each portrait is an intimate study, not just of form and fur, but of presence. Watercolor’s fluidity allows me to capture the softness of a gaze, the flick of an ear, or the dignified curve of a hound’s stance. The medium’s unpredictability mirrors the essence of dogs themselves—playful, soulful, and alive in the moment.
Painting my own dogs is both a tender act of devotion and a way to archive our bond. Through layered washes and delicate detail, I seek to honor the quirks, loyalty, and quiet wisdom they bring into my world.
This series is a love letter to dogs—their diversity, their charm, and their enduring companionship. I hope these portraits invite you to pause, smile, and perhaps see your own furry friends reflected in their painted eyes.
