This piece is available for purchase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524365e1e4b0a6b4ebaa9e52/dcf93f05-88c8-4330-9373-77f2303b92cf/IMG_6534.JPG welcome - Seashell “Seashell” was selected as the title for this piece because it was inspired by just that.

This piece is sold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524365e1e4b0a6b4ebaa9e52/dcba1a80-7af3-4507-acf8-77abeb04f42c/IMG_6572.png welcome - Petal The name “Petal” was carefully selected for this piece because the iridescence and shimmer only accessible to the eye at certain angles mirrors the rare quality found in the seemingly simple petal of a flower. Its complexity emerges upon extensive observation. This piece is available for purchase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/524365e1e4b0a6b4ebaa9e52/c6e84b72-6d8b-4899-8c28-0e39e0f7ee43/IMG_6538.JPG welcome - A Memory The title “A Memory” was chosen for this piece due to its ethereal nature. Its many layers of subtly shifting color brought to my mind the intangibility of an important moment passed.
