“Walk to the ocean” is a piece I made thinking about the beauty of the waves and sand but also the erosion and plastic garbage I pick up on every trip. #art #abstractart #blueskyart #waves

My day job is transportation research — I made this by accident (a happy accident!) as the painting took on its own life and I couldn’t deny the tram that appeared! #painting #art #tram #train #transportation

Weathered Horizons
Layers of land, sky, and motion blur into one another. This piece holds the feeling of passing weather—erosion, light, and quiet persistence—where change is constant but never chaotic. A landscape not of place, but of movement.

Embers of Fall — the season’s final flare.
the last breath of fall pressed against the first snows of the season. when warmth clashes with cold, yet it’s a little longer before winter settles in. 🍂❄️

Sunset in a Storm
A dance of heat and shadow — where embers meet the earth and the horizon seems to melt into light. ✨ This piece explores the boundary between the end and start of a new day.

I’ve been traveling! Enjoy this video of waves crashing on the shore - it will be inspiration for my next artistic experiment! #art #waves #naturesmusic #abstract

The story of art is of constant pushing at boundaries, breaking with tradition. LILLIA CARILLO took her place in this dynamic as a member of the Generación de la Ruptura. A spinal aneurysm eventually ended her life at age 43. 🧵 Natl Hispanic Heritage Month #AbstractArtist #Mexico

Tried my hand at pottery painting today and apparently tomatos are in vogue at the moment according to the owner of the shop 🍅 I just wanted a bowl that would serve as both a pasta and salad bowl 😅 #tomato #pomodori #pottery #paint #saladbowl

Two creatures, one painting. A rat and a mouse!
One’s scrappy and loud, the other’s quick and quiet.
It's the same lines, but different energy, depending on how you look at it.
It's fun how art can hold opposite meanings at the same time

I often think about the vastness of space and time. The Cosmos is a graphic representation of the passion, vastness, the chaos and peacefulness the cosmos, the universe, that holds all of us in it. #abstract #abstractart #acryllic #universe #peace #space #belonging

Not my usual but found it calming to just spread paint on a canvas with some color blocking but I’m not sure what to do next! #workinprogress #art #abstract #canvas #acryllic

The elders is a city scape that ellicits the sense of the towering buildings that span generations, silently watching and listening as we muddle away. The contrast here is with the sweeping movements of the ocean and sand, ever moving, and changing. #art #abstract #urbanism #canvas #painting

The Street is a abstraction of all the things streets get used for, the dangers they represent and the way they slice through our natural environments and urban spaces. The cardinal directions play a part in sheparding us to our destinations. #arr #urbanist #abstract #abstractart #street

A walk at night is a reflection of the Santa Monica Pier from the beach. A soft glow but otherwise darkness in the mist being swept along the beach to the ocean #art #abstractart #santamonica

Sometimes when I start to paint with an idea I see something else! While I intended it to be an ocean landscape on a gray, misty day, I started to see a weeping lady - maybe not too dissimilar - mother earth crying, perhaps? #art #abstract #abstractart #acrylic #painting
