Ephemeral
Here and Gone
For me, “home” is not a place but a state of presence—an authentic experience of belonging to the moment. This series is born from learning to dwell here, in the fleeting beauty that surrounds me on the Pacific coast of Guerrero, Mexico where I live half of each year. Barefoot on stone and sand, or suspended in the stillness of a tide pool, I meet the world as it is: ever-changing, sensual, and unrepeatable.
This series is my love letter to impermanence. Nature’s beauty—like a brushstroke of light on water—exists only for an instant before it dissolves into the next. These moments teach me the art of paying attention. They insist I set aside the urge to grasp, to perfect, to hold on, and instead rest in the truth that nothing lasts—and that is its glory.
In my process of chance and intention, I work with veil-like acrylic washes that echo the translucence of water and sky, grounded by the tactile quality of organic media like sand, lime, and marble powders. Each layer is a meditation on what is emerging now, without clinging to what was or worrying what will be.
Listening and felt sense awareness is my discipline—knowing when to stop, when to trust, and when to let the piece breathe. In this way, each work becomes “enough” in itself, leaving space for the viewer to step in and complete the moment.
My hope is that these paintings act as portals into the fleeting, rapturous moments that shape our days— glimpses of my own creative homecoming, and invitations for you to find yours.
