“The Radiance of Becoming” is a collection born from the language of transformation. Each painting reflects the journey of renewal—where fire, wing, and spirit tell of resilience after loss, exhaustion, and the weight of life’s trials. These works do not dwell in what was broken, but in what emerges: a rising phoenix forged in flame, butterflies unfolding into light, cranes and swans embodying grace, loons carrying endurance, deer watching as peace ascends.

 

This collection is an ode to rediscovery—the moment of finding oneself again, not as who one was, but as something new, whole, and luminous. In every image, transformation is both fierce and tender, destruction and creation, a reminder that even through tragedy, the self can be remade in strength, in beauty, and in radiance.
