Time to Reflect 2010

Painted in 2010 during a deeply challenging season of personal separation, "Time to Reflect" holds a quiet, hard-won sanctuary for the heart.
Set against a moody, atmospheric horizon of rolling hills and muted skies, the painting is anchored by a striking expanse of turquoise. Across this quiet surface rest the persimmons—symbols of resilience, transformation, and the patient sweetness that can emerge through hardship.
For me, this piece captures a suspended moment of transition and emotional grounding. It stands as a personal touchstone of endurance, a visual reminder to pause, breathe, and find stability when the ground beneath you shifts.
