Finding moments of peace has never been more important. We live in a crazy fast-paced world and are flooded with input and information all day. Spaces of beauty and serenity have a strong effect on our mental health and well-being… and ironically our productivity. Whether it’s a quiet corner created at home or a stroll through your city’s botanical garden, these sanctuaries offer a much-needed escape.

My latest series of paintings “Late Summer Gardens” is inspired by Autumn’s golden glow within the peaceful beauty of botanical gardens. These paintings celebrate how pockets of nature can serve as a refuge, reminding us that even in the busiest environments, we can find moments of rest.
