24" x 24" On one level, The Uprising of Beautiful Things reflects the the domestic, the weathered, the human-made above, and this insistent life below pushing up through it all. On a deeper level, it captures the human spirit moving toward its potential. The house as psyche, and the flower quietly becoming. $850

This is part of a series inspired by 100 letters written by my grandfather while he was a young soldier serving in the US Army during World War I.  I never met him. All the artwork in this series bring forth the feelings, passions and ideas he wrote about, or are derived from the physicality of the stationery, handwriting, stains, etc. This series references how immigrants have persevered through darkness, after persecution or great despair, to find their way to a distant, more hopeful shore. Like my grandfather, who fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe and then proudly fought as a U.S. soldier in the "Great War," so many immigrants have held their commitment to America – with all its promises and pitfalls – as a deep honor and privilege. The phrase "With the Colors," which was printed onto the U.S. Expeditionary Forces stationery he used, stands as a solemn and heartfelt term for the American flag. 24" x 24" $850

Mixed Media on Panel A pair of cowboy boots. The words 'way out,' submerged in layers of color. This piece is equal parts love affair and gentle provocation. It's like a nod to the things we adore and cling to, and the kick we sometimes need to step beyond them. Cheeky, colorful, and quietly asking: what's your way out? 30" x 40" $2300

Rich in color and layered in texture, Grounded in Beauty grew from a simple question: what do we notice when we are truly embodied? This piece is part of a series exploring how presence and embodiment shape perception — how the relationship between a line, a shape, a bloom of color can feel entirely different depending on the inner state and awareness we bring to it. 36″ x 36″ $2375

The phrase "With the Colors," which was printed onto the U.S. Expeditionary Forces stationery he used, stands as a solemn and heartfelt term for the American flag. Here, it is the woman who carries the dual weight of the immigrant story — steadfast in her waiting, the quiet anchor of what's been left behind and what's yet to come. The phrase "with the colors" takes on deeper meaning – not just allegiance to a new flag, but the act of carrying one's own colors, one's own culture and heritage, into the American tapestry. $2375

12" x 12" Mixed media on wood panel Becoming embodied is part of the journey of knowing oneself and being truly present.  This flower does not reach skyward in the usual way — its blossom rests against the earth, grounded in the most literal sense. It speaks to the quiet power of embodiment: the journey of becoming fully present in oneself, rooted not as a limitation, but as the very source of connection — to the ground below, the sky above, and the living world between. $395

Each painting in this series embodies the immigrant's dual perspective – like a message in a bottle drifting across vast waters, carrying hopes and memories within: one part facing backward across the ocean to family, streets and villages left behind, and one part straining forward toward an unknown horizon of possibility. Just as my grandfather's letters carried both longing and determination across the ocean, these paintings hold the tension between remembrance and reinvention that defines the immigrant experience. The phrase "with the colors" takes on deeper meaning in this context – not just allegiance to a new flag, but the act of carrying one's own colors, one's own culture and heritage, into the American tapestry. Each immigrant's journey represents both a [...]
