Everyday Rituals
The Everyday Rituals series finds poetry in the ordinary. Each painting elevates the small gestures and routines that shape our days—dressing, pausing, sharing a meal, or simply gathering in familiar places. Through attentive observation and expressive brushwork, these works invite viewers to recognize the beauty and meaning woven into daily life, and to reflect on the quiet moments that connect us all.

Against the Wall (2020) This piece honors the ritual of the morning stroll, using bold color and soft light to evoke a sense of anticipation and quiet joy. The relaxed pose and introspective mood invite viewers to savor the start of a new day.
