This is a fine art print on high quality Canon Pro Matte paper of my original, surreal oil painting, "From the Mud". I have always loved the concept of the lotus flower growing from the bottom of the pond, through the mud, and with little light until it finally completes its journey to the surface of the water. During the time of creating this painting, I felt completely submerged in mud mentally and emotionally. I wanted to use those emotions as fuel to inspire my way out of that dark place. The woman is in a fetal-like position with body language displaying surrender. Her energy is going towards creating something beautiful - towards making it above the water. And with time, she gradually does. PLEASE READ: Prints 8.5" x 11" have an even 1/4" white border around all edges.

This is a fine art print of my original oil painting, "Transform". Inspiration: "In order for a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out, and everything changes. To someone who does not understand growth, it would look like total destruction." - Cynthia Occelli The flower I chose to incorporate into this painting is called "Lily of the Valley", or also know as "Lady's Tears". It is famous for its sweet smell, but also lethal poison. I wanted this flower to be a metaphor for things in life often being misleading. Pain can feel destructive, but what if it those pains are signs of internal transformations taking place? PLEASE READ: Prints 8.5" x 11" have an even 1/4" white border around all edges.

This is a fine art print of my original oil painting, "Metamorphosis Phase 1". I try to self reflect regularly. To look back to the past and acknowledge the growth that has taken place.

This is a fine art print of my original oil painting, "Face the Sun." I was driving home one day and noticed seeds from my neighbors sunflower garden had blow over to the front of our yard and begun to bloom. Seeing them standing tall at the end of our driveway reminded me of how no matter where the sun is in relation to the flower, its face always moves with the sun. This painting is a daily reminder for me to try and see the positives and the possibilities - no matter what uncertainty surrounds.
