Presence Unseen is part of my Van Vleck Garden Colors of Winter Series.

Part of my Colors of Winter series, this contemporary winter landscape was inspired by historic Van Vleck Garden in Montclair, NJ. Fresh snowfall, deep footsteps, and golden sunlight all combined to create this dynamic composition. The entire scene suggested a presence I could feel, but not see. My paintings invite you to see beauty in everyday life. I create vibrant, textured art that inspires gratitude and joy.

Why Collect This Piece
Gallery‑quality, textured fine art mounted flush to a gallery wrapped canvas with a side depth of 2 inches; edges are hand‑painted for a clean, frameless presentation. This piece represents the second time ever that I've mounted a painting on stretched canvas. Previously, I always used wood panels; however, the non-standard dimensions (18 x 14 inches) required an innovative solution. An additional benefit is that stretched canvas is lighter than cradled wood panels.

Archival materials and a technique refined over years ensure long‑term beauty and value for discerning art collectors.
