Bí ciúin
oil on canvas
Translated "be quiet". A silent mouth bestowed upon the Irishman implies a calamity that has quietly changed him. "A warrior’s heart is known in battle, but a man’s soul is known in silence." An Irish saying that his stare perpetuates. Glazed eyes peer into his weathered soul- craving peace- an unattainable goal. Left with only the temporary comfort of a green hat and his dog.

The Tree of Knowledge
oil on canvas
This rendition of Eve as the first woman seeks to explore a side of the story rarely considered. Hers. She is often seen as a temptress and as the downfall of women. This piece challenges that idea and instead centers her as being the first woman to seek truth and bear its consequences. In the Edenic, she exists in harmony with creation. The Tiger looks to her not as a threat, but as a witness to a world shaped by trust. With no reason to escape her comfortable life, the basis of her yearning for the tree of knowledge was a longing for understanding and truth. This truth she could never unlearn. The moments of innocence give way to discernment, and freedom meets consequence. “Who told you that you were naked?’ marks the instant truth arrives, not as a comfort, but an awakening. This painting explores truth as both liberation and a burden. Eve becomes not a temptress and failure, but the first woman to test the bounds of knowledge and truth and strive for more than comfort. The first woman to shape history and face the realization that with truth and knowledge comes freedom even as it takes away from you the innocence and unburdened nature of your soul.

Comfort of Tears
oil on canvas
Desperately alone, unable to withstand the weight of his head any longer, anguish drags it to his arm. With a hopeless grasp at comfort, he bears the burden alone with his sorrow. Unaware of the surrounding light, waiting for him to surrender. Waiting for him to trust, to take away his burden, and to show him true peace.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." -Psalm 34:18

A Subtle Reflection

A fire reflected in his gaze warms his body as it unthaws his thoughts. Looking back in regret or in reverence, he is caught in a moment of reflection-a memory he forgot to forget.

THE SHAPE OF HER
This series reflects the shifting emotional forms of a woman- as a lover, dreamer, rebel, in loss, in defiance, in joy, in the unknown, in peace. It captures the emotional architecture of a woman's life-not just in the events she endures, but the way they mold her. She is the little girl running barefoot through fields, and the woman still underwater-frozen in time, grieving what could've been. She is heartbreak and freedom, longing and laughter. Her shape is constantly shifting-reshaped by what she thought she knew.
Aftertaste
Acrylic on canvas
A rendering of the defiant spirit of a woman shaped by life’s trials, her edges sharpened by experiences that have left scars. Wearied by being seen yet never truly known, she builds walls to shield her heart.
NO.11 The Wish
A piece capturing a woman in the throes of love, her emotional walls dissolving as she embraces the possibility of a lifelong connection. The artwork radiates warmth, openness, and the delicate hope of a shared future.
What He Left Behind
A window into a woman at her emotional nadir, steeped in grief after a devastating loss of the man she once knew. She's out of tears, in a window. She is clutching a drooping lily, a remnant of his love, now fading; feeling unlovable and shattered by loss.
Route Glamour
Acrylic on canvas
A piece capturing a woman at the threshold of change, leaving behind all she’s known in search of something truer. The road ahead is unknown, but she drives forward with her dog beside her- the only constant she trusts. Worn by past versions of herself, she is led not by certainty, but by self-possessed hope; a quiet, steady belief that what comes next will be hers, and hers alone.
Her Earliest Freedom
A look into girlhood in its purest form - barefoot in tall grass, untethered by time or expectation. In this moment, joy is instinctive, laughter is unfiltered, and the world has not yet asked them to be anything but free. This is the origin of wonder; before the weight, before the shaping - where everything feels possible and nothing has to be earned.
Relflection
She is shown in midlife, surrounded by the simple rhythms of home; the chirp of chickens, the softness of familiar animals. In the quiet of the moment, she reflects on the life she’s lived: the detours, the heartbreaks, the joys. She carries both the weight and the wisdom of what came before, grounded now in something slower, steadier. Wondering if she would have done anything differently. This is not regret - it’s reverence for the winding road that led her here.
Above the Mantle
A painting capturing a serene moment where a farmer and his two daughters pose together, with the unseen woman, his wife, and their mother, taking the photograph. She radiates quiet contentment, deeply grateful for the peaceful life she’s built and the journey that led her here. Trying her best to teach her daughters lessons she had to learn the hard way, knowing they will inevitably have to learn for themselves.
Her Future
Acrylic on canvas
A moment captured in the realization of excitement and trust in the future. She sees the two she holds dear and envisions her life in that instant. Instead of peering into the past, she finds herself excited for the future. Stagnant no longer, only forward-looking, she realizes that her past has led her here, and her trust in God will reveal a future she has always dreamed of.
The Last Kiss
The surreal moment of a World War II goodbye kiss - the next time they would meet is in the next life. The wishes of what could be - and the love for what was - all coming to a head as war calls him away from her. His hand clenching desperately for her to stay. - the brust stokes implying a world moving around them as they stay frozen in this moment for eternity.
UNSAID
A series exploring the quiet language of animals - emotion without words, presence without explanation. Each piece reflects the purity of connection, the honesty of instinct, and the weight of being seen without having to speak.

Peak-a-Bear
A portrait of wild beginnings - a young bear mid-climb, steady and sure - mischief flickering in his eye, determination in every small limb. Unaware of the risk, he follows something deeper than thought - the quiet pull of instinct. this piece reflects the beginning of courage, the soft-bellied certainty of youth, and the silent urge to reach for more before the world teaches fear. No sound, no reason - just upward.
Silent but Understood
A quiet homage to the emotional world of animals - those who love without needing to explain. In every posture, glance, and flick of the tail lives a language all their own. this piece reflects the silent depth of companionship - the loyalty of dogs, the mystery of cats - and the way they hold space in our lives without ever needing to speak. Expressing their consuming love without ever saying a word. They are heard not by voice, but by heart.
