Garden Reverie
The word "reverie" comes from the french word for "to dream," and this painting is exactly that: a garden dream. The delicate curl of a foxglove and three iridescent hummingbirds, a peaceful botanical painting that complements openness with intricacy for the mind to wander peacefully.

Rufous Hummingbird at Sunrise
While a hummingbird's wings beat 50-60 times a second, this painting is meant to capture one of those fleeting moments for the human eye to appreciate. The intention was for the viewer to experience a moment of peace, warmth and enjoyment of the beauty of the bird's morning flight.

Blue Herons Under Pink Sky
Great blue herons are graceful, strong, and patient. In this painting, pastel skies, elegant birds, and soft grasses pull the viewer into a dreamlike vision of a quiet moment at a salt marsh. Contrasted detail and openness, cool blues and warm pinks, work in harmony to instill peace and calm.
a bit about the artist
I'm a southern California oil painter inspired by quiet moments in nature. Iām drawn to butterflies and birds for their delicate movements, which feel like brief pauses in time for mindful reflection. Through detailed brushwork, I capture light, color, and motion to create a peaceful pause on canvas, inviting the viewer to slow down and connect with the world around them.
