THE WORK

In the past year, my work has shifted toward painting abstract energy portraits—interpretations of the light, life, and subtle currents I see moving in and around people.

Since childhood, I’ve perceived flickers of light, drifting shadows, and waves of energy surrounding others. When I realized most people didn’t see these things, I learned to keep the experience to myself. I often looked away because it felt intrusive, like overhearing a conversation not meant for me.

Now, with permission, I’m finally painting what I’ve always seen and sensed—the luminous presence each person carries into the world.

THE PROJECT

This art project will consist of a growing series of uniformly sized, hand-painted acrylic portraits that depict an energetic presence rather than physical likeness—this work is for those who sense they are more than their reflection.

Each portrait is created on an 18 x 24 inch canvas, numbered sequentially. Individually, each painting belongs to a private collector. Collectively, the professionally documented images will form a single archival body of work intended for exhibition, publication, and future installation.
