charcoal, ink, oil pastels and seashells found in Marina Del Rey, California. Covered in a glassy-dream-like resin on claybord. Ready to hang.

This painting is a meditation on balance — between rawness and calm, shadow and glow. Layers of spontaneous marks, textures, and flowing gestures build a world that feels both turbulent and serene. A golden star anchors the chest, a quiet reminder of inner light, while white arcs move across the canvas like breath, unifying body and atmosphere.
The work invites the viewer to linger in contrast: the rough edges and the smooth veils, the haunting face and the warm, soothing field. It is at once vulnerable and luminous, an exploration of how beauty can emerge from chaos, and how wholeness is found in embracing all parts of the self.
