Life in Layers - Life is built in layers—moments remembered, moments lived, and moments still unfolding.
In these mixed-media works, fragments of paper, color, pattern, handwritten words, and found phrases come together to explore time, memory, emotion, and the experiences that shape us. The sayings woven into the works offer familiar thoughts and reflections, inviting us to pause, reconsider, and find our own meaning within them.
Each layer carries something from the past while making space for what comes next.
All works in this collection are created on stretched canvas and may be displayed unframed. All prices include applicable sales tax.
New Beginnings
The words “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” offer a simple but powerful invitation to begin again—to let go of what has been and embrace the possibility of what comes next.
I was drawn to the optimism and sense of personal agency within the phrase. For me, it speaks to the idea that transformation doesn't necessarily require a dramatic moment; sometimes it begins simply by choosing to see the present differently.
Created with collage and acrylic paint on stretched canvas, this work layers fragments of imagery, color, and text to create a sense of movement and possibility. The red, blue, and purple palette brings a spiritual dimension to the piece, suggesting introspection, transformation, and a renewed sense of purpose.
New Beginnings reflects the possibility of starting again, no matter what layers of experience have come before.

The Moment Arrives
The words “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday” invite us to pause and consider how often we live somewhere other than the present—anticipating what might happen, only to discover that the future eventually arrives as an ordinary moment in our lives.
I was drawn to the paradox within the phrase. The things we worry about in the future can feel distant and overwhelming, yet when that future becomes today, we are simply here, experiencing the moment we once imagined.
Created with collage and acrylic paint on stretched canvas, this work brings together layers of color, imagery, pattern, and text to create a visual sense of movement through time. The overlapping elements suggest the way past, present, and future exist together in our memories and expectations.
The Moment Arrives is a reminder that the future is always becoming the present—and that perhaps the best place to meet it is here.
