"Muse" 2025. Oil on canvas. 24x18 inches. 
 
“Muse” captures a moment of quiet reflection and grace. The subject’s downward gaze and soft light invite a sense of intimacy and stillness, emphasizing both strength and vulnerability. Through delicate transitions of tone and form, the painting explores beauty not as perfection, but as presence — the quiet confidence found in introspection and simplicity.
