2025 Winter Show A Collection of Paintings for the Turning of the Year
Welcome to the 2025 Winter Show. These paintings are brought together to offer an experience shaped by presence, attention, and the kind of seeing that reveals more the longer you stay with it. They draw from a lifelong fascination with the inner life of simple things, from the way light transforms an object, and from the deep focus that allows an image to become something more than an arrangement of forms. Each piece is an invitation to step into that space, to linger with fine details, and to allow the work to speak in its own steady way.
"Where Light Gathers"
Oil on panel • 18×24 inches / 45×60 cm • $5,000 (sold)
“Where Light Gathers” brings together glass, woven silk, and layered color in a single luminous arrangement. Crystal and gilded vessels rise at the center, their surfaces shaped by shifting reflections and soft golden light. Beneath them lies a Tibetan altar cloth, rich with symbolic patterns that speak to clarity, compassion, and the interdependence of all things. Its folds and colors create a sense of ceremony, guiding the eye through subtle changes in light as it meets the glass above it. The painting explores how illumination moves across each surface, how reflection becomes softened by pattern, and how stillness can be transformed into an act of devotion. Together, the objects form a moment of contemplative radiance, held by the meeting of craft, tradition, and light.
"Silver Cup and Red Plum"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750 (sold)
“Silver Cup and Red Plum” turns the meeting of metal and fruit into a study of shifting light. The cup reflects its surroundings in cool, fluid shapes that wrap around its curved surface, while the plum holds a concentrated warmth that deepens toward shadow. A soft fall of cloth supports both objects, creating a gentle counterbalance between reflection and color. What emerges is a moment shaped by contrast and precision, where each surface responds to the illumination in its own distinct way.
"Teacup with Gold Brocade"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750 (sold)
“Teacup with Gold Brocade” turns a simple arrangement into an exploration of color and reflection. The porcelain cup lifts soft, cool light along its curved surface, while the gold brocade beneath it releases a slow shimmer that moves through its patterned weave. The spoon adds a quiet line of brightness that steadies the composition. Together, the elements reveal how light behaves across differing textures, shifting from translucence to warmth to metallic gleam. The painting rests on these subtle exchanges, offering a clear, attentive look at how illumination shapes form.
"Orange and Etched Glass Cruet"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750
“Orange and Etched Glass Cruet” explores how transparency and glow shape one another. The orange casts a warm radiance that moves through the carved patterns of the cruet, softening as it bends around the etched glass. Reflections shift in subtle ways, changing character as they pass from fruit to vessel to cloth. The scene rests on these small transformations, revealing how neighboring forms can alter the light they share. The painting carries a sense of measured focus, shaped by the warmth of the orange, the cool intricacy of the glass, and the gentle movement of color beneath them.
"Study in Silence No. 1"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750
“Study in Silence No. 1” turns three objects into a meditation on how light reveals form. The plum holds a concentrated coolness, the citrus offers a bright, textured contrast, and the gold-trimmed glass lifts narrow lines of reflection into the surrounding dark. A fold of red cloth introduces a subtle rise of color that steadies the composition and guides the eye across each surface. The painting rests on these transitions, inviting the viewer to follow the way illumination shifts from fruit to glass to shadow.
"Meditation with Etched Glass No. 1"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750
“Meditation with Etched Glass No. 1” considers how carved glass alters the light that passes through it. The etched wine glass gathers illumination along its patterned surface, turning nearby colors into softened shapes that drift through the water it holds. An orange introduces a warm point of contrast, while the walnuts add grounded texture and depth. The scene unfolds through these shifts in clarity and distortion, showing how familiar forms take on new character when filtered through glass. The painting rests on this quiet interplay of refraction, color, and surface, inviting a slower, more attentive look.
"Study in Silence With Silver Creamer"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750
“Study in Silence With Silver Creamer” follows the movement of light as it shifts between metal, fruit, and cloth. The creamer gathers its surroundings in cool reflections that bend along its curved surface, while the lemon beside it holds a concentrated warmth that settles into its textured skin. The blue cloth provides a calm foundation, allowing each transition of color and brightness to unfold clearly. The painting rests on these varied responses to illumination, revealing a moment shaped by contrast, clarity, and careful placement.
"Study in Silence with Etched Glass"
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750
“Study in Silence with Etched Glass” centers on the shifting behavior of light as it passes through carved glass and moves across neighboring forms. The etched vessel, half filled with water, turns surrounding colors into softened currents that drift through its patterned surface. An orange introduces a warm glow to one side, while two chestnuts settle into deeper shadow, offering a grounded contrast. The patterned cloth beneath them adds subtle motion through its interplay of warm and cool tones. The painting becomes an exploration of how illumination changes character from surface to surface, transforming simple objects into a moment of calm presence.
