I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork. Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as  red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

Ethereal Passion

Softly woven petals

opening like secrets.

They reach, they wander,

they find the sun in their own way.

A longing to feel,

to truly connect.

There’s something wild about them,

something honest.

They bloom bold,

but only for a while.

Passion flowers,

almost not of this world.

So fragile, almost floating,

like morning mist in sunlight.

Ethereal passion,

found in tiny small things,

fragile but real.

Not loud, just real.

An ode to beautiful Siroua, magical memories of our stay in the beautiful Berber village. Driving through the Atlas Mountains, a breath-taking road with beautiful panoramic views of colorful Berber villages and the fields in which women are working.

I love the mountains, rivers and the ocean. On our winding journey of life, we are like the river, coursing it's way gingerly toward the sea, exploring the universe of that inward journey toward the self.

I drew this portrait during one of my travels to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco as an homage to a young women I met in a small village. Her bright look and eyes filled my heart with joy.

Vers la Kasbah

The city awakens slowly.

Quiet mornings, and the first stirrings of life, the warm scent of fresh bread drifting through the alleys.

Soft rose-colored light, and the patina along the old walls.

With every small gate I pass, a new view unfolds, the light guiding me further in.

Then comes the beautiful square, where the palm trees cast their long morning shadows.

I love these gentle mornings… when the whole day still lies open before me.

SHE RISES WITH THE SUN

Soft coral earth beneath

her feet,

The sun slowly sets over the land.

The horizon whispers,

She will rise again.

Shadow and future intertwined,

Threads of all that she is woven together.

Here and tomorrow,

Even when the night feels long,

The sun has promised

It will always return.

Her eyes sparkle,

Carrying the light.

The light of connection,

With all that surrounds her,

Through every layer of herself,

She carries the sun.

Shades of nudes and pink, all cut outs from vintage paper, which I collect during my travels and keep like treasures. Creating landscapes from little nothings.

This woman’s portrait, painted in soft pink and tender brown, feels like a memory of warmth. I love how the flowing colors ground me, calming the mind like early morning light. It’s as if I can smell the fresh air, feel the earth beneath my feet, and sense the soft light brushing gently against my skin.

With soft and fluid movements like ballet, gentle and graceful. Balancing, connecting and embracing harmonius life with all ups and downs, highs and lows. Dynamic. Nurturing my soul with positive thoughts. Dancing through life…

Jade is one of my favorite Gemstones. Considered one of the most precious stones of the East, it is said to strengthen love and happiness, balance and harmony. As a stone of the heart it is believed to help moving past wounds and fulfill dreams.

The natural colours of the earth have a calming influence on me. I like to collect pieces of paper, leaves and dried flowers creating my own abstract world.

I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.

A combination of vintage papers to create layers to help the story unfold.

An ode to sisterhood. Embrace the differences, the beauty of soulful sisterhood. Curious about each other’s choices, raising each other up, supporting & encouraging each other on the adventurous path that is life. Let yourself be surrounded by the spirit of the sisters. We shine bright together.

The lighter side of life a little bit slower… A little bit less prepared leaving room for life to surprise you with so many wonderful things. Coloring the lines finding the silver lining. Light & pure. Softness with strength, new sensations. The light dances with the purity of the natural.

“Indah” means beautiful in Indonesia and I painted this portrait on one of my many travels to this magical chain of islands. Beauty wherever you go, inside and out…

xTiny

Soft lines, a hint of a female outline. What is she dreaming of?

xTiny

And she looks like the moon. So close and yet, so far. Following her intuition. Enchanting like a blue moon.

This portrait was originally painted on linen with a Japanese brush. The unpolished strokes, the imperfections – all of them celebrating serendipity. This is where the magic is.

Rêve d’azur et cassis

Limestone cliffs, sun-warmed,

and azure blue water, endless, almost unreal. Parasol pines lean gracefully into the wind.

Wild rosemary and thyme, their scent drifting over the bay. The hum of cicadas singing in the heat.

At sunset, purple dusk settles softly on the azure water below the cliffs.

Catching the moment when the sea remembers the sky…
