Modern Hamsa (2025) 48 × 72 in (4 × 6 ft) UV Reactive Acrylic & Gold Leaf on Wood Panel Price: Inquire Modern Hamsa is a luminous altar and visual anchor created to cultivate love, unity, and presence within the psychedelic and spiritual experience.

Devotion 28 × 43 in Acrylic on Wood Panel with Hand-Built Wood Frame Price: $11,111 — Available for Purchase Devotion is a monumental meditation on love as a sacred force — one that illuminates, anchors, and transcends. A radiant sunflower burns against the night sky, defying darkness with its own inner light.

At the center of the bloom rests a single, watchful eye — representing shared vision, awakened perception, and the doorway through which love expands consciousness. Below, two lovers are entwined as one living column, their bodies forming the stalk that supports the flower above.

The blank face of the watch resting on her wrist represents the timeless nature of love—moments of genuine connection that exist beyond clocks, schedules, and worldly demands. In these embraces, time dissolves.

Ancestral Iris

Ancestral Iris.PNG

Ancestral Iris (2023) 40 inches across Acrylic on wood panel Private Collection — Sold $5,555 (original sale price) Ancestral Iris is a powerful meditation on lineage, memory, and spiritual inheritance. Painted in 2023 on a circular wood panel, this work draws inspiration from my Indigenous roots in Jalisco and the sacred symbolism of Mayan cosmology. At the center of the composition is the jaguar — a revered guardian and embodiment of strength, intuition, and ancestral wisdom. In Mesoamerican traditions, the jaguar represents the bridge between worlds: earth and spirit, past and present. Its presence here reflects the enduring power of heritage and the unseen forces that guide us through time. The surrounding serpent, flowing water forms, and desert flora weave together themes of transformation, resilience, and life force. These elements mirror the cyclical nature of ancestry — how stories, energy, and identity move through generations like an eternal current. The circular format symbolizes wholeness and continuity, emphasizing the idea that personal vision is inseparable from collective memory. Each detail was intuitively rendered, allowing cultural symbolism and emotional truth to emerge organically through the painting process. Ancestral Iris now resides in a private collection and remains a cornerstone work within my exploration of heritage, spirituality, and embodied identity.

Whale of a House

whale of a house.JPG

Whale of a House 60” x 60” Mixed Media on Cotton Canvas Custom Wood Frame Sold – Private Collection, Cayucos, California A Victorian home rests upon the back of a whale, drifting through clouded skies as if gravity were optional. The architecture — detailed, upright, and human — contrasts with the organic curve of the whale beneath it, a gentle giant carrying structure through open air. Whale of a House explores the idea of home as something mobile — not fixed to land, but carried by deeper forces. The whale becomes both foundation and vessel, symbolizing emotional depth, memory, and the unseen currents that support our lives. Whales are ancient navigators. They move through vast distances guided by frequencies beyond human hearing. In this piece, the house — a symbol of identity, stability, and belonging — rests on something far more intuitive and primordial. This work invites reflection on what truly holds us up. Is home a structure — or the living force beneath it?

Honest Woman

Honest Woman.jpg

Honest Woman 48 × 48 in (4 × 4 ft) Oil on Cotton Canvas 2022 $5,555 — Sold (Private Collection) Honest Woman is a bold and contemplative exploration of gender, power, and representation. Through humor and symbolism, this painting reflects a hope for a future in which women are honored for their intellect, leadership, and humanity—beyond the narrow lens of physical appearance. The composition references the historically controversial painting The Nude Maja, recontextualizing the traditional nude within a contemporary dialogue about agency and visibility. The enlarged face of Abraham Lincoln is placed atop the figure’s body, creating a striking juxtaposition between masculine political authority and the long-standing objectification of women in art. A mockingbird rests along the figure’s hip, symbolizing the many external voices that claim to speak on behalf of women without fully understanding their lived experience. This element underscores the ongoing struggle for authentic representation and self-definition. Rendered in rich oils on cotton canvas, Honest Woman balances technical refinement with conceptual depth. The work invites viewers to question inherited narratives, examine cultural power structures, and imagine a more equitable future. This original painting is now held in a private collection.

Metamorphic Muse

Metamorphic Muse.jpg

Metamorphic Muse 2025 28 × 45 inches UV Reactive Acrylic on Wood Panel Collaboration with collage artist Rory Morrison (@strangebouquets) Metamorphic Muse is a collaborative exploration of transformation, identity, and creative dialogue. The piece was inspired by an original collage created by Rory Morrison (@strangebouquets), which served as the conceptual foundation for the work. Rather than painting directly onto the collage, I reinterpreted the composition through paint—translating its visual language into a fully realized, hand-painted work while expanding upon it with additional symbolic elements. Building upon the original design, I introduced new layers of flora, serpent form, butterfly imagery, and energetic color fields, weaving themes of rebirth, intuition, and evolution throughout the portrait. The divided facial structure reflects the multifaceted nature of selfhood: instinct and intellect, softness and strength, shadow and radiance existing in balance. Executed in UV-reactive acrylic, the painting transforms under blacklight, revealing heightened color and hidden depth. This dimensional shift mirrors the work’s central theme—metamorphosis as both an internal and external journey. In 2025, Metamorphic Muse was selected as the featured artwork for the official Karnival of the Arts Festival poster, marking a celebratory milestone within the live art and visionary arts community. This piece stands as a testament to artistic collaboration, reinterpretation, and the power of shared inspiration to evolve into something uniquely its own.

Entheogens

entheogens.jpg

Entheogens 36” x 48” Acrylic on Cotton Canvas Sold – Private Collection Limited Edition Prints Available An organic mandala radiates from a single watchful eye — the center of awareness, perception, and expanded consciousness. Surrounding it are plant medicines traditionally used in ceremonial practices by tribes throughout Southern California and Mexico, woven together in a living halo of petals, cactus forms, blossoms, and sacred botanicals. Rather than presenting these plants as isolated forms, Entheogens arranges them into a unified cosmology — honoring them as ancestral technologies of healing, vision, and communion with the natural world. The warm desert palette — sun-washed corals, sage greens, muted blues, and soft creams — echoes the landscapes where many of these traditions were born. The central eye does not dominate; it witnesses. It represents the state of awareness cultivated in ceremony: clarity, remembrance, and the dissolving of separation. The word entheogen translates to “generating the divine within.” This piece honors the sacred relationship between land, lineage, and consciousness — and the responsibility that accompanies working with plant teachers.

Jaguar Gaze

focus (1).JPG

Jaguar Gaze 36” sides x 51” base x 25.5” tall Custom Built Acrylic on Canvas Sold- Private collection A jaguar’s piercing eyes emerge from a triangular canopy of lush green leaves — alert, sovereign, and unwavering. The geometric composition compresses wilderness into structure, framing instinct within intention. In many Mesoamerican traditions, the jaguar symbolizes power, night vision, protection, and the ability to walk between worlds. It is a guardian of the unseen — a creature that moves silently, observes deeply, and strikes only with purpose. The triangular form acts as both a lens and a portal, directing the viewer into the animal’s gaze. There is no chaos here — only presence. The jaguar does not need to prove its strength. It embodies it. Jaguar Gaze is a meditation on disciplined power — the kind that does not scatter itself. True focus is quiet. Strategic. Rooted. It is the mastery of stillness before movement.
