City Life - Art Show Edition - Original Mixed Media
Giclee Canvas Print Satin with Acrylic Paint Custom Finish

As the artist creating "City Life," each brushstroke and line was a deliberate echo of the city's dynamic energy. I thought about the rush of people, the glow of streetlights against the night sky, and the vibrant chaos that defines urban living. With every splash of color, I aimed to capture that frenetic pulse, layering reds, blues, and oranges to mirror the diverse tapestry of city sounds, sights, and movements.

Cosmic Kiss - Art Show Edition - Original Mixed Media
Giclee Canvas Print Satin with Custom Acrylic Paint Finish
21 X 33 X 1.5 inch
"Cosmic Kiss" came from a place deep inside me—a longing to touch something I can’t fully understand but feel drawn to. As I painted, I thought about how we’re all searching for connection, not just with each other, but with the vast unknown out there. The red center became the heart of it all, full of passion and life, reaching out, yearning. Those golden lines—they’re the paths we follow, the light guiding us through the darkness, even when we don’t know where they’ll lead.
The black, star-speckled background was my way of grounding myself in the mystery of it all. It’s the space we stare into at night, wondering what’s out there, wondering if something or someone is reaching back. This piece is my way of saying that even in the unknown, there’s a spark, a kiss—a moment where something bigger than us feels within reach. Creating this felt like extending my soul, reaching to touch the edge of the infinite. It’s more than a painting—it’s a dialogue with the cosmos, a tribute to the beauty of the mysteries we ache to understand.

Guiseppi - Art Show Edition - Original Mixed Media
Giclee Canvas Print Satin Finish
18 X 25 X 1.5 inch
This is "Guiseppi," a portrait not of a face, but of a spirit. As I painted, I was swept away by memories of someone I once loved—a handsome Italian man whose smile could light up a room and whose zest for life was contagious. Every stroke of color holds a piece of him—the vibrant reds and blues reflect his passion and energy, the softer whites and aquas his tenderness and warmth. He lived for his family, for love, for every moment life offered, and it’s that essence I poured into this painting.
Guiseppi reminds me of the beauty in embracing life fully and unapologetically. He reminds me of what it feels like to love deeply and to be loved in return. This work is deeply personal, a celebration of a soul who lived brightly and left an imprint on my heart. Through this painting, I feel his energy, his laughter, and his love all over again, and I hope you can feel it too. It’s not just a painting of a man; it’s a reflection of the joy and passion that make life so incredibly beautiful.

Oasis with Black Floater Frame
Giclee Canvas Print Satin Finish Black Floater Frame
22 X 22 X 2 inch
I named her Oasis because she embodies the quiet, hidden beauty that gently reveals itself when the world slows down enough to notice. As I painted her, I envisioned her eyes—soft, inquisitive, and full of wonder—peering out from behind the vibrant greens and rich colors of her sanctuary. She is both mystery and invitation, a symbol of the beauty we can find when we look closely and with intention.
Oasis is a reflection of grace, of the quiet strength that exists in stillness, and of the harmony between ourselves and the natural world. Every layer of color carries a story—her story—one of resilience, tenderness, and the courage to observe the world with curiosity and an open heart.
This artwork is my tribute to the beauty that often hides in plain sight, waiting to be discovered. I

Saffron Zest - Exhibition In Person Only
Giclee Canvas Print Satin Finish
30 X 30 X 1.5 inch
In the vivid tapestry of "Saffron Zest," one finds the eloquent dance of colors that speaks to the soul’s journey through tumult and tranquility. Here, saffron does not just paint the canvas; it breathes life into it, emerging softly yet powerfully, like the first light of dawn that promises new beginnings and endless possibilities. This zestful yellow whispers tales of enlightenment and joy, enveloping the viewer in a warm embrace of hope.
Contrasting with this gentle emergence, the crimson bursts forth with the fierce intensity of a beating heart. This deep red, rich with the echoes of passion and the throbs of deep-seated emotions, weaves its story through the saffron glow, reminding us that within every renewal, there exists the pulse of our most fervent feelings and desires.
Amidst these vivid expressions, the black lines traverse the canvas with bold determination. Like the guiding strokes of a seasoned conductor, they bring depth and balance, grounding the exuberance of the saffron and the passion of the crimson with their stark, contemplative essence. These black lines are the shadows without which light cannot truly be appreciated, the necessary darkness that defines the brightness of life’s colors.
And let us not overlook the white spaces—those silent, untouched areas that offer respite within the visual symphony. They are the pauses between notes, the breaths between words, allowing us to absorb and reflect upon the vibrancy that surrounds them.
"Saffron Zest" is not merely a painting; it is a dialogue of colors, each with its voice and vibration, engaging in a spirited conversation on the canvas. As Maya Angelou might have celebrated the richness of human experience through her words, this artwork similarly invites us to feel deeply, reflect boldly, and embrace the spectrum of our own emotional landscapes.

Art Doesn't Whisper
X X 1.5 inch
"Art Doesn't Whisper" by Chris Thompkins. In a home where the line between inside and out is whispered through glass, hangs a canvas loud with color. It is a vibrant testament, a dance of purple majesty, fiery orange passion, and the verdant greens of new beginnings, all caught in the bold black ink of possibility. This artwork doesn’t whisper; it sings a daring opera of existence. Each stroke is a stanza of struggle and serenity, much like life itself. It demands you not just to see, but to feel, to partake in the visual feast, to understand the chaotic, beautiful mess of being profoundly human.
