From the series: The Light That Finds Us
Present Tense is more than a painting — it is an invitation to pause.
This piece calls the viewer back to the softness of the current moment, to the breath that anchors the body, and to the quiet knowing that lives beneath the noise of everyday life.
Created during a season of deep transition, Present Tense reflects the delicate space between who we have been and who we are becoming. It honors the moments when parts of us are shedding, shifting, dissolving — and yet, there is a conscious choice to remain here. To stay open. To allow presence to guide the next step, the next thought, the next version of self.
This work is a reminder that healing and growth are not loud or rushed. They are found in stillness. In returning to the heart, one breath at a time.
Present Tense invites the viewer to slow down, listen inward, and welcome the new self that is quietly, gracefully emerging.
