FIERCE AND WISE Cirque du Soleil art In every stroke

In every stroke

I’m reminded that even through change and challenge

"Whispers of the Night" was born from the mornings I spent watching a pair of Sandhill Cranes I came to know as Mika and Tika

"Seeking the Unseen" was inspired by a night hike in Haleakalā National Park in Hawaii - a moment that reminded me how wonder often hides within the unknown

A black leopard watches over a barn owl, rabbit, and songbird a quiet moment of harmony where courage and compassion coexist. This oil and mixed media painting celebrates protection, balance, and the beauty found in unexpected connections.
