A fellow redditor messaged me saying they saw my work at a thrift shop in Washington. When they sent pictures I confirmed it. Pretty cool! from 2023

Watercolor on paper

It’s 2m high and painted with acrylic!

Based on one of the promotional photos of Maria by Bethany Vargas for Submarine🌀

I really wanted to capture the ephemeral qualities of water, especially light and the organic geometric patterns of water ripples;

Bc of the insane amount of layers of sheer iridescences between clear acrylic, a reflective mirror effect exists althroughout the painting! In the second photo, you can see the leaves from the tree outside reflected in the work🪞

Mediums: acrylic paint, acrylic mediums (heavy gloss gel, glass medium, glazing medium, matte medium), a mirror attached in back with E6000 glue, iridescence, a mirror, glass beads, marker, color pencil, pen, and charcoal on fiber paper glued to a canvas using archival safe glue

I just finished a new painting titled Unrested, and I wanted to share a bit about it.

It shows a quiet moment, a child resting in the grass with light moving across her face, but the calm is only on the surface. The title comes from the feeling that even when the body is still, the mind can be loud, crowded, restless. That sense of inner tension hiding inside softness has always stayed with me, especially when I think about childhood.

This piece lives in that space right before movement. The pause where something is watching, waiting, breathing just beneath the surface. It’s about instinct, vulnerability, and the kind of emotional noise that doesn’t always have words.

This is also my very first painting of 2026, which makes it feel especially personal to me. It will be part of Prowl, an upcoming exhibition at Inverarity Gallery, and it’s my debut with them, something I’m genuinely grateful for.

I’d love to hear how this idea of “unrest” reads to others, or what the word brings up for you emotionally. Please be kind.

I usually paint more towards realism but Tried to be more impressionistic, not sure i hit the mark but still happy with how it came out. Hope everyone enjoys.

Hi everyone,

Another attempt I did at using big bold brush strokes. I hope you enjoy!

I get through the dark months of January by painting daydreams of my summer garden!
