You have my Heart - Abstract beaded painting

This original mixed media painting came from thinking about the complexities of connection—how we can feel close to someone yet still experience distance. The bold red form and soft pink background create a visual conversation about proximity and separation, while hundreds of hand-placed glass beads add an intimate, tactile detail at the center.

Exploring Emotional Spaces Through Abstract Art

I'm drawn to exploring the emotional spaces between people—what's said and unsaid, the moments of reaching and holding back. This small abstract painting captures feelings of love, longing, and the quiet distance that can exist even in close relationships. But like all abstract work, it invites your own interpretation and experience.

Hand-Beaded Mixed Media Technique

The glass beads in shades of coral, pink, red, and orange are carefully hand-placed to catch the light and create texture. This tactile element adds depth to the painted surface, combining traditional painting techniques with textile and beadwork craftsmanship.
