All The Music We Cannot Hear III

40.0 x 30.0 inches

"This piece emerged during one of those rare moments when the veil between worlds seems gossamer-thin. I found myself capturing what feels like a transcendent golden dawn—that liminal space where night surrenders to day in a blaze of transformative light. The horizon line creates a threshold between realms: above, dramatic coral clouds sculpted in white gestures suggest mountainous forms hovering in celestial space; below, a molten reflection pools in amber and saffron, creating a mirror world equally alive with possibility. There is something deeply healing in these warm hues that radiate from within the canvas. They speak to that ineffable moment when darkness yields to illumination—a process I've witnessed countless times in my therapeutic practice, when a person suddenly perceives their experience through a different lens and everything is bathed in new understanding. The textural brushwork, particularly in the upper region, carries an emotional velocity that settles into the more meditative stillness of the lower realm. This duality creates a visual metaphor for the way transformative experiences often arrive—through turbulence followed by clarity. I painted this between sessions, in that golden hour when the studio was flooded with similar light, feeling connected to something eternal yet utterly present—that perfect moment of becoming that belongs to no time but its own."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
