When all you feel is light, 2010

Painted in 2010 during the same profound season of transition and personal separation, "When All You Feel Is Light" serves as a companion piece to Time to Reflect—capturing the other side of navigating deep change.
Set against a dark, moody background of winding branches and an eclipse-like moon, a magnificent peacock gently holds a lit lantern. The bird’s vibrant plumage and the steady flame within the glass provide a striking illumination against the shadows.
For me, this painting represents the moments when, even in the midst of uncertainty and upheaval, a quiet inner clarity takes over. It is about carrying your own illumination, finding beauty and resilience in the dark, and trusting the light that leads you forward.
