"Resilience" is a large, square format oil painting. It bursts with a riot of color, where thick globs of paint are applied directly from the tubes, creating a strikingly tactile surface. Vivid reds, powerful plum purples, bold blues, and sunny yellows intermingle, each hue vibrantly alive against the canvas. The interplay of finishes adds depth, while the raised textures invite the viewer to explore the physicality of the paint. Layer upon layer, the colors blend and contrast, forming a rich visual experience that captivates the eye. The dynamic composition radiates energy and movement, embodying a sense of strength and vitality through its expressive use of color and texture.

48” x 84”
This abstract oil painting, measuring 5 feet by 7 feet, invites viewers into a dynamic interplay of color and form. The dominant phthalo blue sweeps across the canvas, evoking a sense of depth and balance, reminiscent of deep waters or vast skies.
Interspersed with rich earth tones—warm ochres, deep browns, and muted greens—the composition creates a striking contrast that grounds the vibrant blues. Organic shapes and fluid lines suggest natural elements, while layered textures add a tactile quality that draws the eye.
A touch of gold delicately weaves through the composition as the artist’s signature, catching the light and enhancing the sense of movement and depth. Adding a whimsical note to the artwork's creation, two curious puppies got into the paint, playfully dyeing themselves blue for a week, leaving a lasting memory of their mischievous adventure.
