DOGS IN A NYC MOMENT SERIES 2023~

They come at us unexpectedly, unfolding beautifully as chance encounters that I can’t stop smiling about.

Hide & Seek

2025 | Oil on Panel 10"x8"

Hiding in safe corners

Seeking calmer waters

Faith is the bridge in-between

Where lies on the other end

Believing in things I cannot see

Trusting in people I barely know

Faith is an elder’s wisdom

A child’s innocence unfolding

 

Serious Conversations

LOST IN LEAVES SERIES 2024~2025

In between circles & ovals & the unknown

Awakening

2025 | Oil on panel 14”x11”

Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to be a woman, what is means to wield the strengths of femininity, what it means to temper a raging pot of emotions that stir when questioned, judged, belittled, and ignored—

it’s easy to surrender, like a scared doe.

But lately, I’ve been feeling more feminine and brighter within, when I ceased to seek someone else’s approval, the dead weight dropping off my back, when the emotional storm sputtered down to the sounds of soft rain drops—

it’s not easy to stand up proudly, but the love that emanates, it’s warm enough for the hearts that need to be cracked open, including my own.

The Little You

2024 | Oil on panel 10”x10”

There are hints, little glimpses,

the little you, I’d missed at first.

When you cried in the car the other day,

there you were, the little you, seeping through

like waves washing over the shore,

the little you, splashing waves

with the brightest smile I’d ever known.

 

Pinky Promise

2024 | Oil on panel 6”x6”

There’s a lightness

after the ups and downs

past the circumstances I thought would break me.

There’s a lightness

in the colors I gravitate towards:

a happy bright against heavy shadows.

There’s a lightness

in knowing there will be growth

in showing up to face my biggest fears.

I pinky promise, I’ll be there

when there’s no one else around to witness it.

The Sun in Us

2023 | Oil on Panel 10"x10"

What if we grew like trees

our feet towards the sun

the silent brilliance a twinkle?

You are in between the shadows,

slices of dark against my skin.

My arms point upwards

as if I could get all I needed

and more

soaking in the sun in us

to share the warmth when it gets cold.
