"I have always found it deeply soothing to walk among a forest of trees. There is something healing to the soul when listening to a breeze run its fingers through the leaves. Smelling the loam of the forest floor warmed by the beams of sunlight filtered through the canopy. Observing like a theater goer as dust motes lazily dance through the rays. The light is comforting as it glows golden yellow tinted by the green of the leaves beckoning with a siren’s call while tiny bits of blue curiously peak down from above. Even now my senses smell and feel and hear and remember. That is what my art is all about, what this piece is all about. I am drawn to such memories and experiences. My art tries to draw them up to sooth the viewer with their own wonderful memories." -artist's personal notes.

"Solace" is a vibrant and dynamic abstract painting that captivates with its intricate details and vivid color palette. The artwork immerses the viewer in a dense, lively environment reminiscent of natural textures and hues. The canvas of "Solace" is filled with a myriad of small, colorful patches and strokes, creating a mosaic-like effect. Predominant colors include shades of blue, green, yellow, and hints of orange, interwoven in a manner that evokes the richness of nature—foliage and sunlight.

The brushwork varies throughout the piece, featuring both smooth transitions and rough, textured elements that add depth and complexity. The overall composition is energetic and rich, engaging the viewer with an intricate display of abstract forms that unfold upon closer inspection. What at first may seem like a chaotic blend of colors and shapes slowly reveals itself as an abstract depiction of a tree with sunlight filtering through its leaves. This realization provides a unique and gratifying experience, as the viewer discovers the tree camouflaged within the vibrant abstraction.
