It’s not what I see. It’s what I feel.
The energy of flowers in a vase, painted from life.
As I scratched into the surface with my fingers, I let the energy in me, in the flowers, and in the space between us move through me.
Oil on canvas. 16 x 20 inches.
Stillness Made Visible
Spending hours with a single flower in grayscale, I stop seeing petals and start seeing light, weight, and quiet. In that stillness, my attention deepens into presence.

Month Long Apple
I’ve been painting the same apple for a month. At first, it was just a symbol. Then a feeling. Then I really started to see it. The more I focused, the more it revealed color, texture, stillness, energy.
Week after week, the skin and shape of the apple changed. Somehow, feeling, form, and process all found their way into the painting.
Is there something in your life that reveals more as it ages?
What a Cauliflower Taught Me
What if everything we see is just the beginning—and every form holds something deeper, something we can feel?
What We See
This is a photo of a cauliflower. It shows the form—how it looks to the eye. We notice shape, texture, and pattern. But this is only the surface.
What We Notice
This sketch is my human interpretation of the actual cauliflower. Sketching helps us slow down and observe. When we draw, we begin to notice energy: movement, connection, and flow.
What We Feel
”Form Bloom.” Oil on canvas. 36” square. Here is my abstract painting of the cauliflower’s energy. It’s not about how it looks, but its aliveness. This painting reveals my sense of the invisible energy within the form, rising and unfolding.
Now You
What do you see when you look at the world? What do you feel? ”Form Bloom” invites you to notice both—and to remember that every form is also a doorway into energy.
