Thoughts on The Major Threats to Our Oceans
Our oceans and ecosystems are in trouble, and not just in the “that’s a bummer” kind of way. We’re talking about real, measurable threats that could fundamentally change life as we know it. The good news? There are solutions. Not just wishful thinking or utopian ideals, but actual, tangible ways we can turn this ship […]
Whispers of the Horizon
This abstract painting invites the viewer into a serene, atmospheric world of texture and subtle movement. A harmonious blend of soft blues and earthy browns evokes the transition between sky and land, as if capturing the quiet moment of dawn or dusk. The vertical drips suggest the gentle pull of gravity, like rain streaking down a window, while layers of textured collage details hint at hidden stories and messages beneath the surface. Faint traces of text and organic patterns give the piece an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality, encouraging introspection and a sense of calm. The overall effect is both grounding and uplifting, a poetic reminder of nature’s beauty and quiet resilience.
Thoughts on Being Thankful
Gratitude isn’t just a warm, fuzzy feeling. It’s a tool. And if you use it right, it can change the way you see your life—for the better. Let’s be real: it’s easy to forget the good stuff. The stress, the problems, the annoying little things pile up, and suddenly, your focus is on everything going […]
Dance of Storm and Sea
A serene and textured representation of the sea during an approaching storm. The palette primarily features shades of blue and green, which blend into one another, evoking the cool, soothing qualities and colors of an energetic body of water. The lighter tones suggest the reflections on the water’s surface or the shoreline, while the deeper, richer hues toward the middle represent the vast, expansive depths of the sea or the threat of the approaching turbulence.
Thoughts on The Power of Simplicity in Abstract Art
Abstract art is often seen as a visual playground, a space where rules are loosened, and creativity can run wild. However, while abstract art gives artists a certain freedom from the confines of realism, not every brushstroke or splash of paint always leads to a masterpiece. Sometimes, less is really more. In a genre already […]
Fiery Horizons

The warm, fiery tones blend seamlessly with the deeper teal and green shades of the sea below, creating a striking contrast between the cool and warm elements of nature. The blurred, reflective textures give a sense of fluidity, as if the colors are melting into one another, mimicking the way sunlight dances on the water’s surface. The overall effect is both dynamic and peaceful, evoking the fleeting beauty of a sunset over the ocean.

Thoughts on Getting Things Done
One of the most effective ways I’ve found to combat stress is by staying organized. This is really how you actually get things done and stay happy and sane along the way.
Thoughts on Slow Productivity: Achieving More by Doing Less
Instead of focusing on speed and volume, what if we redefined productivity to mean producing high-quality, meaningful work at a pace that actually feels natural and truly enjoyable? It’s a pivot from finding satisfaction in the accomplishment of the volume, to really focusing on embracing and enjoying a process that produces truly great, but fewer results.
Thoughts on having a growth mindset
Frustration is part of the maker’s process. The challenge is to continually work on finding ways to roll with the struggle so it’s seen as a positive experience and progress, not a negative, annoying slog. Maybe positivity will lead to something of value—something more satisfying for the artist. Something more unique and enjoyable for the viewer to look at. Something better than another painting of a perfect tree.
