Guided

17" × 33"
Acrylic on Gold Leaf on Upcycled Artist Board with Gilded Gold Frame

A mother wolf lowers her head toward her pup in a quiet gesture of reassurance.

Surrounded by expansive fields of gold and snow, their small presence reminds us that life's most meaningful moments are often the quietest. The gold leaf shifts beautifully with changing light, while an iridescent glaze across the snow creates a soft glimmer that brings the winter landscape to life.

Painted on a reclaimed artwork, Guided reflects the beauty of transformation—both in the renewed surface beneath the paint and in the enduring bond between parent and child. It is a quiet reminder that guidance is offered with patience, trust, and love.

Series, Second Light

Every painting in Second Light begins with a story already written.

Created on reclaimed paintings that have been transformed with gold leaf, each piece is given a new beginning. What once existed as one work of art becomes the foundation for another, honoring the beauty of renewal and the possibility found in second chances.

Within each composition, a quiet moment unfolds between a mother and her young. Set against luminous fields of gold and open snow, the figures remain intentionally small, inviting the viewer to slow down and notice what is easily overlooked.

The gold leaf catches and reflects changing light throughout the day, while the iridescent glaze on the snow creates a gentle shimmer, bringing warmth and life to an otherwise quiet winter landscape.

Together, these paintings celebrate love that protects, teaches, comforts, and endures.
