Blooming Renewal
a series of spring paintings and sculptures
In this delightfully whimsical piece, affectionately titled "Neon Nightfall" I invite you to join me on a colorful journey through the enchanting themes of renewal and exuberance that spring forth like a mischievous rabbit from a magician’s hat during the glorious season of spring. Imagine, if you will, a once-humble recycled ceramic coaster—a relic of your last casual dinner party, now transformed from a mere underappreciated table accessory into a dazzling work of art that practically dances with life!
At the heart of this vibrant creation, two striking tiger lilies take center stage, flaunting their bold colors and flamboyant petals like they’re ready to audition for a role in a blockbuster summer blockbuster. These floral divas sway gracefully against a dramatic black backdrop—think of it as their elegant little black dress, perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a fancy gala or a casual brunch with friends. And oh, the drama doesn’t stop there! I’ve sprinkled in some UV-reactive spray paint and a generous splash of acrylic accents in cheerful shades of green, blue, and purple, giving the piece a personality as vibrant as a parrot on roller skates—yes, you heard that right!
But wait, hold onto your gardening gloves, because we haven’t even talked about the enchanting glow-in-the-dark elements yet! These little wonders symbolize the hidden beauty that emerges from the shadows of sustainability, reminding us all that even the most unassuming materials can shine like stars in a glittering night sky when given a second chance. It’s like discovering that your old, battered bicycle can be transformed into a stylish garden sculpture—who knew recycling could be so fabulously chic?
As part of my Spring series, aptly dubbed "Blooming Renewal," this piece doesn’t just stop at being visually stunning—it’s a cheeky little reminder that life is a series of comical plot twists and delightful surprises. It serves as a gentle nudge—or perhaps a playful poke—to appreciate the delicate dance between nature and human creativity. Imagine a waltz at a spring ball, where flowers and artists twirl together in a celebration of resilience and joy. That’s the essence of "Neon Nightfall."
This artwork invites you to contemplate the beauty of transformation, much like that awkward caterpillar transforming into a flamboyant butterfly (minus the whole cocoon thing, of course—who has the time for that?). It’s a reminder that every ending can lead to a spectacular new beginning, and that life, much like spring, is always ready to bloom anew, bursting forth with colors, laughter, and the occasional unexpected surprise—like a squirrel stealing your sandwich at a picnic!
So, come along on this colorful adventure with me! Let "Neon Nightfall" tickle your imagination and warm your heart, reminding you that the world is full of possibilities, waiting to be uncovered—one recycled coaster at a time. After all, who knew that a simple piece of ceramic could spark joy and inspire transformation? Well, I did, and I’m here to share it with you in all its blooming glory!

The Enchanted Mirror Art can save the world
Art is so much more than paint on canvas or metal shaped into form; it’s a living reflection of the world we experience every day.

This artwork invites you to engage, to delve deeper than the surface, and to explore the layers of meaning that it holds. As you gaze into its depths, consider the beauty of sustainability that it embodies. Each element was once considered waste, a forgotten piece of someone’s life, yet here it has been transformed into something remarkable. This transformation serves as a powerful reminder that beauty can emerge from the most unexpected places, and that we have the ability to reimagine our surroundings.

RESONANCE OF VIOLA LEE
Art can save the world
I wanted to capture the intricate beauty of violets, using a blend of recycled materials to create a piece that resonates with both nature and the human experience. The painting features vibrant hues of purple and blue, accented by warm touches of orange, yellow, and red, reflecting the complexity of life itself. Creating this artwork on sandpaper and cardboard, I embraced the imperfections of my materials, allowing them to tell their own story. Each stroke of spray paint and acrylic adds depth and a sense of movement, as if the flowers are swaying gently in a breeze. The piece glows in the dark and is UV reactive, inviting viewers to discover hidden layers of beauty that emerge in the shadows, much like the fleeting moments of joy and reflection in our lives.
Inspired by the soulful melody of "Viola Lee Blues," this artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia and connection. It reminds us of the beauty found in simplicity and the power of resilience. Just as music resonates within us, I hope this painting speaks to the viewer’s heart, encouraging a moment of pause and contemplation amid the chaos of daily life. In a world often focused on the new and shiny, this piece celebrates the beauty of the overlooked and the power of transformation through creativity
