Painting progression! My ADHD really surfaced, and I tried a lot of different versions.

These brutal Lake Mead and Texas Lake drought photos (2024-2025) inspired my painting, 'A Mother's Mirage.' It captures the devastating reality of a waterfront dream dried up—a necessary, heavy subject. #DroughtArt #ClimateArt #WIP

From the first brushstrokes to the final glimmer of light, this piece evolved layer by layer. What begins as calm water slowly reveals the truth beneath the surface — a world drying out while holding on to hope.
Comfort, collapse, illusion, and inheritance all unfold in color and texture.

A Mother’s Mirage
Oil on canvas, 16x20” (2025)
What seems serene is an illusion, where comfort meets collapse and luxury meets loss. The mother clings to hope, yet the brighter future she imagines is only a mirage. The child stands to inherit a world running dry.

Honestly, the "scratch-and-reveal" technique is a game-changer. It's like a painting scratch-off ticket, but you actually win every time. Get a cracked-soil look by painting a light layer over a dark. Then, use a palette knife to scratch through the top, revealing the color underneath.

Well, I might have accidentally ordered a monster of a canvas! 😂 It was so big I needed reinforcements just to get it built. Now that this giant is assembled, I can't wait to see what kind of magic I'll create on it!

“Melting Horizons” is staying with me for my office! Knowing so many other pieces have found homes gives me even more space to dive back into creating new oil paintings.

More than an art party, it was a gathering to spark conversations. "Denial's Debt" explores Past vs. Future, Fantasy vs. Reality, Dreaming vs. Denial.

Between last year's massive hailstorms inspiring my work and the hail hitting Texas today, it feels like natural disasters are always in the headlines. Just wanted to share how those events continue to spark creativity. #HailArt #WeatherEvents #ArtistLife #TexasHail

Inspired by last year's incredible hailstorms, particularly the feet-high hail in summer from Mexico and the widespread cracked glass, I've painted a new piece. It shows a woman and her dog calmly waiting for a bus, amidst towering hail and shattered glass.
