"Party of Three" features a trio of tulips caught in a delicate, almost choreographed entanglement—bending, leaning, and softly fading against a darkened background. Painted in an intentionally ephemeral style, the work emphasizes movement, atmosphere, and emotional resonance over rigid form. Inspired by and created in collaboration with photographer Susan Sawyers, this piece reflects a shared vision: finding quiet intensity and beauty in the fleeting and imperfect.
