Artwork Description

Was $500, now $300
Ahead of the release of my newest collection, I'm making space in the studio by offering a selection of older original works at a special collector's price.

These pieces are treasured parts of my creative journey and remain as meaningful as ever. This isn't a reflection of their worth, but an opportunity to create room for the next chapter while helping a few beloved works find their forever homes.

This series was born from the beautiful mind of my neurodivergent son, and the way he experiences the world with such honest clarity.

Where I had learned to look past words toward their implied meanings, he brought me back to their beginning — to the simple, literal truth of what was being said. A “sitting duck” became, quite plainly, a duck sitting. And in that moment, I was reminded how much quiet beauty lives inside unfiltered perception.

These paintings honour that purity.

They are intentionally free from elaborate backgrounds or abstraction. There is no distraction, no embellishment, only the idea itself, exactly as it is. A gentle invitation to pause, to smile, and to see the world again with childlike openness.

This series is a celebration of literal thinking, of neurodivergence, and of the reminder that not everything needs to be complicated to be meaningful.

Sometimes, there is profound beauty in simply taking things as they are.
