I’m excited to share my piece on watercolor paper, Pausing to Pose. Inspired by Florida’s vibrant wildlife and swaying palms, this mixed-media painting captures a serene great blue heron taking a graceful moment in a dreamy, pastel-colored landscape. I combined photography, painted papers, and layered textures to bring a bit of tropical calm and gentle energy to the scene. It’s like pressing pause on a quiet afternoon where nature strikes a perfect pose—peaceful, colorful, and just a touch whimsical.
