Summer Nights is a richly atmospheric botanical still life that captures the lush, fragrant intensity of a garden after dusk. Set against a deep indigo sky scattered with stars, this 16” x 20” original oil painting glows with saturated color and quiet movement, evoking the warmth and mystery of long summer evenings.

A bouquet of romantic blooms includes velvety roses in blush and cream, a dramatic plum anemone, delicate lavender blossoms, and pale ranunculus spilling across the composition in layered abundance. Their petals are rendered with expressive brushwork and luminous glazing, giving them a softness that feels almost touchable. Beneath them, golden lemons rest in a pool of shadowed light, their textured skins catching highlights like small suns against the night.

A blue butterfly hovers gently over a sliced lemon, its wings edged with intricate markings that echo the star-speckled sky behind. The pairing of fruit and butterfly suggests fleeting sweetness and transformation, sensations heightened in the suspended stillness of evening. Wisps of atmospheric light drift through the background, blurring the boundary between earthly table and celestial expanse.

Painted in oil, the surface reveals depth through layered color, subtle tonal transitions, and areas of soft diffusion contrasted with crisp detail. The scale invites close viewing, drawing the eye into the glow of petals, the texture of citrus rind, and the shimmer of distant stars.

Released as part of the 2026 Spring Collection, Summer Nights reflects themes of ripening, sensuality, and quiet transformation. It celebrates the fleeting magic of the season when air is heavy with scent, the sky hums with possibility, and even the smallest moment feels luminous.

Velveteen Day Dreamsis a luminous, narrative oil painting that drifts between waking and dreaming. At 40” x 30”, this large-scale original envelops the viewer in a twilight interior where the natural world quietly crosses the threshold into imagination.

A young woman rests beneath an open window, her gaze soft and distant, as though suspended in a moment of inward wandering. Around her, rabbits gather gently, one nestled in her hair, another perched watchfully nearby. They are tender, symbolic companions that evoke innocence, intuition, and childhood memory. Beyond the window, daylight filters through sheer pink curtains, while the surrounding sky deepens into a field of stars, blending interior and cosmos into a single, enchanted space.

Wildflowers bloom in abundance across the foreground and along her figure, blue hyacinths, golden blossoms, soft pink clusters, and crimson coneflowers, spilling forward in layered color and texture. The florals feel alive and immersive, wrapping the scene in growth and quiet vitality.

Painted in oil, the surface reveals rich layering, luminous glazes, and expressive brushwork. The interplay of light creates depth.. The composition invites slow looking; details emerge gradually, much like memories surfacing in a dream.

Released as part of the 2026 Spring Collection, Velveteen Day Dream reflects themes of rebirth, imagination, and the gentle return of light after darkness. It is both intimate and expansive, a meditation on vulnerability, wonder, and the quiet magic that lives between the visible and unseen.

Starry Still Life

Starry Still Life is a luminous botanical composition that blurs the boundary between earthly abundance and celestial wonder. Set against a deep, indigo-violet sky scattered with starlight, an arrangement of lush blooms rises like a constellation of petals suspended in time.

A pale tulip stretches upward with quiet elegance, while layered roses in blush and cream unfurl beside a richly saturated anemone and a deep magenta ranunculus. Cascading wisteria drapes gently over translucent glass vessels, delicate goblets and rounded flasks that catch and refract soft, golden light. A butterfly, poised mid-rest among the blossoms, introduces a note of transformation and fleeting beauty, echoing the cosmic shimmer in the background.

The interplay of glass and flower is central to the piece. The vessels feel alchemical, suggesting themes of preservation, experimentation, and reverence. Light pools within them like captured moonlight, illuminating petals from below and creating a dreamlike glow that contrasts with the expansive night sky behind. The composition invites contemplation: a still life not confined to a tabletop, but suspended within a universe.

Painted in oil, the surface reveals layered brushwork and subtle glazing, building depth and richness in both the velvety florals and the atmospheric backdrop. The 16” x 20” canvas offers an intimate scale, drawing the viewer close to observe fine details of the star-speckled sky, the translucence of petals, the reflective shimmer of glass.

Released as part of the 2026 Spring Collection, Starry Still Life reflects themes of renewal, emergence, and quiet magic. It celebrates the meeting of science and spirit, fragility and endurance, earth and cosmos—a reminder that even the most delicate bloom carries the vastness of the night within it.
