      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Before the World Arrives” | She hasn’t been added yet, the figure at the edge of the sand, but I think she’s coming. Sometimes I paint the ocean to remember how it feels to be held without question. This one was born from a moment of quiet and softness.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Beautiful Mess" | Some canvases come blank. Others come from the trash. This 4'x3' beauty was rescued, reused, and reborn with a neon sunset, blooming wildflowers, and zero pressure to be “perfect.” It’s not polished... it’s playful. And honestly? That might be my favorite kind of painting. Here’s to second chances, bold colors, and art that makes your heart smile.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Sunset Silhouette Series" | From palm-lined boulevards to desert dreams and mountain stillness, each canvas captures a California sunset through my eyes as a Miami girl learning the language of new landscapes. Same sun, different shadows.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Coastal to Concrete" | From Miami’s swaying palms to LA’s sky-touching cousins. This piece is a love letter to the trees that lined both my childhood beaches and now my freeway commutes. Palm trees, but make it bi-coastal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Quiet Altitude" | Inspired by the pine trees in Angeles Forest and Big Bear, this one is for the chill that hits just before dusk, the hush between the mountains, and the peace that sneaks up on you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Still Wild" | This silhouette came from a memory in Joshua Tree where the sky looked like it was lit from inside. Somewhere between surreal and sacred.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Tides of Light” – A Series | Three versions of the same shoreline. Three chapters in a story told by the sea. First Light – soft beginnings; Golden Hour – a moment held in warmth; Last Light – the hush of ending</image:caption>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>“First Light” | The beginning of something, soft and dreamlike. The start of the day, or the start of a dream? “First Light” captures the moment the world stretches awake, painted in pastels and promise.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Golden Hour” | That golden-pink space between day and night, presence and memory. That hush before goodbye, when the sun leans low and the waves soften. “Golden Hour” is about lingering, on the shore, in a memory, in a feeling you don’t want to lose just yet.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Breathing Landscapes</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Last Light” | Closing chapter. The tide is still talking, even after the light has gone. “Last Light” holds the weight and peace of endings, the kind that don’t need words, just waves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Held by the Moonlight" | This tree... I passed it often while walking the dogs. I’d always stop, tilt my head back, and just breathe it in. There’s something sacred about how its branches stretch toward the moon.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The First Tides</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Where the Light Finds Me" | I painted this after years of silence; brush untouched, colors waiting patiently for me. This is me, standing at the edge of a new beginning, where the waves hush the past and the sun promises nothing but light. This piece captures both a memory and a wish, reminding me to rise with wonder, to chase the dawn, and to meet each day with open hands and a full heart.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The First Tides</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Saltwater Sanctuary" | Miami's beaches have always known me; before the noise, before the unraveling. It holds the sun, the sky, and the breath I forgot I was holding. This is my Saltwater Sanctuary. A place that doesn't ask for anything but presence.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683a6bd3ac2ee80ebc128ebb/61b2046f-4a84-4ea5-be59-03d7b4f9ec11/1000139311.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>The First Tides</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Let the Colors Dream for You" | I didn’t paint this to be precise. I painted it to pause. This piece isn’t about perfect perspective or realistic proportions. It’s about soft rebellion. The kind where you let the figure stay small so the sea can stay vast. Where the back of a woman becomes an open doorway inviting you to step into stillness, not performance. Her hair isn’t styled. The ropes aren’t even. And still she’s held. By the hammock. By the sky. This is what it looks like when presence wins. When we let go of needing to get it “right” and just let the bright colors lead the way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The First Tides</image:title>
      <image:caption>"While the Light Unfolded" | She didn’t chase the light. She let it find her curled in softness, bare against the hush of tide and sky. This piece is about stillness, and the quiet kind of healing that happens when no one’s watching. A moment to simply be.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683a6bd3ac2ee80ebc128ebb/040b3f6c-2793-4dbb-ab39-043fe0c2966c/20250624_073824.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>The First Tides</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Before the World Arrives, She Greets the Quiet" The sky doesn’t rush to bloom. The ocean doesn’t beg to be seen. She learned from them. And so she stands steady, open, radiant, a woman who knows that peace is power.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Between Masks" | Some days I forget which self I’m wearing. Some days I forget if any of them are mine. I painted her in front of the chaos, a fallen angel, caught between who the world expects her to be and who she actually is. Masking to belong, unmasking to breathe. Each change blurs the edges a little more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Writing my Own Story" Series | These two pieces, gold and silver, survivor and shapeshifter, completely transform in direct sun. What was subtle becomes radiant. What was quiet becomes undeniable. They’re part of the same storm. Painted from different pieces of me. One born of grief. The other, of defiant joy. But both say the same thing: I get to write my story.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Scars into Brushstrokes” | Some stories aren’t told in words. They’re told in layers. In textures. In colors mixed with memory. This piece poured out of me in the midst of anger, clarity, and a reclamation of self. I started with chaos, using paint and: berries, cotton, twine, dying flowers, seed pods, and then she appeared. Not soft, but sovereign. Not broken, but becoming. They tried to write my story. But I turned the scars into brushstrokes and made something beautiful.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"She Came Out Dancing" | In full color. In full control. With glitter in her scars and a beat in her chest. Because healing doesn’t always look quiet. Sometimes, it struts. Sometimes, it sways. Sometimes, it storms the canvas in bare feet without no shits to give</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"The Vivid Series" | Three pieces. Three daydreams. Each one rooted in something real but stretched by color, emotion, and imagination. This series poured out without planning, just brush to canvas and feeling to form. Bold, instinctive, and a little chaotic...just like the best kind of dreaming (and just like me)</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Shape of Thought</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Unmapped Light" is a journey through instinct, shadow, and the unexpected paths hope takes. This series began with a question: what if I just let the process lead? Each piece explores how light moves; not in straight lines, but through curves and chaos. This is a map drawn by feeling. A celebration of permission, play, and the grace that comes when I allow myself to stop needing all the answers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Shape of Thought</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Curves of Light" | This final piece is a quiet reminder that resolution doesn't require rigidity. Sometimes, it looks like letting go. Letting it flow. Like texture, like instinct, like trust in the process. The light didn’t follow a straight line; it curved, doubled back, meandered. But it never disappeared.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Saltwater Sanctuary" | Miami's beaches have always known me; before the noise, before the unraveling. It holds the sun, the sky, and the breath I forgot I was holding. This is my Saltwater Sanctuary. A place that doesn't ask for anything but presence.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Let the Colors Dream for You" | I didn’t paint this to be precise. I painted it to pause. This piece isn’t about perfect perspective or realistic proportions. It’s about soft rebellion. The kind where you let the figure stay small so the sea can stay vast. Where the back of a woman becomes an open doorway inviting you to step into stillness, not performance. Her hair isn’t styled. The ropes aren’t even. And still she’s held. By the hammock. By the sky. This is what it looks like when presence wins. When we let go of needing to get it “right” and just let the bright colors lead the way.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"While the Light Unfolded" | She didn’t chase the light. She let it find her curled in softness, bare against the hush of tide and sky. This piece is about stillness, and the quiet kind of healing that happens when no one’s watching. A moment to simply be.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"She was the Bubble and the Light" | Inspired by a photo of me as a child blowing bubbles at the beach, this piece became a quiet journey back to joy. Layer by layer, moment by moment, an exercise in reconnecting with my inner child, the part of me untouched by shame or sorrow. Painting this was a return to her. No past to outrun. No noise to untangle. Just presence. Just me. Raw. Real. Worthy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Before the World Arrives” | She hasn’t been added yet, the figure at the edge of the sand, but I think she’s coming. Sometimes I paint the ocean to remember how it feels to be held without question. This one was born from a moment of quiet and softness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Between Masks" | Some days I forget which self I’m wearing. Some days I forget if any of them are mine. I painted her in front of the chaos, a fallen angel, caught between who the world expects her to be and who she actually is. Masking to belong, unmasking to breathe. Each change blurs the edges a little more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Writing my Own Story" Series | These two pieces, gold and silver, survivor and shapeshifter, completely transform in direct sun. What was subtle becomes radiant. What was quiet becomes undeniable. They’re part of the same storm. Painted from different pieces of me. One born of grief. The other, of defiant joy. But both say the same thing: I get to write my story.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Scars into Brushstrokes” | Some stories aren’t told in words. They’re told in layers. In textures. In colors mixed with memory. This piece poured out of me in the midst of anger, clarity, and a reclamation of self. I started with chaos, using paint and: berries, cotton, twine, dying flowers, seed pods, and then she appeared. Not soft, but sovereign. Not broken, but becoming. They tried to write my story. But I turned the scars into brushstrokes and made something beautiful.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"She Came Out Dancing" | In full color. In full control. With glitter in her scars and a beat in her chest. Because healing doesn’t always look quiet. Sometimes, it struts. Sometimes, it sways. Sometimes, it storms the canvas in bare feet without no shits to give</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Unmapped Light" is a journey through instinct, shadow, and the unexpected paths hope takes. This series began with a question: what if I just let the process lead? Each piece explores how light moves; not in straight lines, but through curves and chaos. This is a map drawn by feeling. A celebration of permission, play, and the grace that comes when I allow myself to stop needing all the answers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Curves of Light" | This final piece is a quiet reminder that resolution doesn't require rigidity. Sometimes, it looks like letting go. Letting it flow. Like texture, like instinct, like trust in the process. The light didn’t follow a straight line; it curved, doubled back, meandered. But it never disappeared.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Splinters of Silence" | Carved from reclaimed wood, stained with pain, and layered in acrylics and truth, this piece was born from rage I could no longer carry in my body. The handprint at the throat represents the invisible grip of years spent silenced, diminished, manipulated, and erased. The phrases etched into the background are the soundtrack of surviving in a world that tries to tame and shame women into silence. This was never about pretty art. It was about making the damage visible. About honoring the emotional wreckage as real. About taking back the power of my voice: in texture, in color, in every splinter.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Behind the Green Eyes" | This piece is quieter. Not because it hurts less but because this kind of silence was trained. Perfected. Expected. She was never allowed to scream. So she learned to hold it in behind steady eyes, a still face, a single tear she didn’t dare let fall. Don’t mistake composure for peace. This is the second in a series about voice, erasure, and survival.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Portal of Pages” | A girl, a book, and a door of light. When the world was too loud, she stepped between the shelves and disappeared into stories that saw her, saved her, and stitched her back together. Even in the darkest moments, fiction never failed her. The library was her portal. The words were her safe space.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Beautiful Mess" | Some canvases come blank. Others come from the trash. This 4'x3' beauty was rescued, reused, and reborn with a neon sunset, blooming wildflowers, and zero pressure to be “perfect.” It’s not polished... it’s playful. And honestly? That might be my favorite kind of painting. Here’s to second chances, bold colors, and art that makes your heart smile.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"She was the Bubble and the Light" | Inspired by a photo of me as a child blowing bubbles at the beach, this piece became a quiet journey back to joy. Layer by layer, moment by moment, an exercise in reconnecting with my inner child, the part of me untouched by shame or sorrow. Painting this was a return to her. No past to outrun. No noise to untangle. Just presence. Just me. Raw. Real. Worthy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"My happy place" | Made on a broken-down Trader Joe's paper bag, with the last of my paint and random supplies I had, and yet somehow, this became my favorite creation. Sometimes, you don’t need perfection. Just a quiet space, a good soak, and the audacity to make beauty out of scraps.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Portal of Pages” | A girl, a book, and a door of light. When the world was too loud, she stepped between the shelves and disappeared into stories that saw her, saved her, and stitched her back together. Even in the darkest moments, fiction never failed her. The library was her portal. The words were her safe space.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Splinters of Silence" | Carved from reclaimed wood, stained with pain, and layered in acrylics and truth, this piece was born from rage I could no longer carry in my body. The handprint at the throat represents the invisible grip of years spent silenced, diminished, manipulated, and erased. The phrases etched into the background are the soundtrack of surviving in a world that tries to tame and shame women into silence. This was never about pretty art. It was about making the damage visible. About honoring the emotional wreckage as real. About taking back the power of my voice: in texture, in color, in every splinter.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Behind the Green Eyes" | This piece is quieter. Not because it hurts less but because this kind of silence was trained. Perfected. Expected. She was never allowed to scream. So she learned to hold it in behind steady eyes, a still face, a single tear she didn’t dare let fall. Don’t mistake composure for peace. This is the second in a series about voice, erasure, and survival.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"For Those Who Never Truly Return" | PTSD from active military duty is a wound that never heals. This piece was done in phases. The first: the bloody, violent scars left from war. The second: the bright flowers growing in front of the war scene as a symbol of hope and life, not erasing but easing some of the horror.</image:caption>

A familiar corner, a quiet night, a Dad and his boys walking beneath halos of streetlight. This piece was inspired by a father's love, the way light softens everything after sunset, and our neighborhood, Baldwin Village, The Jungles.</image:caption>
