As the Midwest winter fully settled in, my creative source gravitated toward memories of sun-drenched escapes. This subject matter perfectly complements my loose, expressive style and love for vibrant color palettes. This body of work became a counterpoint to the season's muted palette. These pieces are not mere souvenirs, but portals. I want each piece to be a visual vacation, a defiance against the winter blues. This collection is meant to capture the essence of warmth – the lush greenery, the energy, and the sense of serenity.
