• Receiver Oil on canvas 23" x 37" x 1-1/2"  This painting emerged from a deeply meditative state—an exploration of stillness, openness, and the quiet energy of receiving. As I worked, I imagined the figure not as someone reaching outward, but as someone holding space—a vessel for light, wisdom, and presence. The elongated form and sweeping gestures echo a sense of movement through inner landscapes, while the palette shifts between warm flesh tones and soft cosmic hues, inviting the viewer to consider what it means to truly listen.  The title Receiver refers not only to the figure in the painting, but also to a larger idea: that we are all receivers of experience, of connection, of the unknown. Painting this piece reminded me of the importance of surrendering control and allowing something greater to move through me—both in life and in art.
