“The endless play of light and shadows, and the patterns they create remains a constant source of inspiration for my paintings. In my latest series, Reflections, I explore the concept of change through the subject of water.

Throughout history, water has symbolized life, emotions, and change. While going through substantial changes in my personal life, I was subconsciously drawn to paint the water theme,  for which Lake Chelan offered stunning visual references. Rich hues, and the symbolism of the colors depicting the crystal clear water, convey a positive message of wisdom, healing and rebirth.

I hope that my paintings bring clarity and peace to the viewer, and help them connect with their inner wisdom”
