HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
This series conceals narrative hints within, inviting viewers on a delightful treasure hunt. The allure of hidden ideas resonates with curiosity, and amidst the constant media bombardment, I hope my whimsical approach offers a much-needed respite.
Women Who Read Are Dangerous
That direct, unyielding stare from a subject painted in 1883 is especially striking because portraiture from that era so often forced women into passive, decorative poses. When a painter captures a woman looking straight back at the viewer with intelligence and agency, it completely breaks the fourth wall and demands respect.

Goldie’s Whimsical
Tea-Time: Sipping in the
Afternoon Sun
Inspired by Janet Fish’s luminous still life Gold Tea Set, this painting extends her exploration of reflective surfaces into a gently whimsical narrative. I envisioned a devoted, pet‑loving family who, with affectionate ritual, carried their goldfish outdoors during picnics so she might safely experience the world beyond her bowl.
Hiding In Plain Sight
An Imaginary Tale…
Once upon a time, two snails embarked on a vacation adventure. Without realizing it, they found themselves at a lavish manor nestled in the picturesque Scottish countryside.
Pavo and Whiskers
In a cozy home nestled among blooming flowers, there lived a family with two extraordinary pets: a peacock named Pavo, and a curious cat named Whiskers. Each day, they followed their routines—the cat chasing sunbeams, and the peacock displaying its magnificent plumage.
The Owl and The Pussycat
A nonsense poem by English artist, illustrator, author, and poet Edward Lear, first published in 1870. A story about two unlikely sweethearts-an elegant owl and a beautiful cat-has thrilled children of all ages for years.
