Bird of paradise - 2011 Artist’s collection

This painting was exhibited to the Royal family of the Netherlands in 2011 at the Saba Lace and Art Exhibition on Saba Island, Dutch Caribbean that was curated by another talented Saban Artist, Ms. Stacey Simmons.

This painting is an exploration of poise, emergence, and quiet strength as expressed through botanical form. The Bird of Paradise becomes a singular presence rather than a decorative motif, rising from negative space with clarity and intention. By isolating the form, the work invites attention to gesture, movement, and the inherent elegance of natural structure.

Watercolor is central to the way the image unfolds. Transparent washes allow color to breathe and interact, creating transitions that feel organic and unforced. I allow the medium to guide the edges—some defined, others dissolving—mirroring the balance between control and spontaneity found in living systems.

The composition emphasizes vertical movement, suggesting growth and self-possession. Warm reds and oranges convey vitality and inner energy, while cooler greens and violets introduce balance and calm. Together, they reflect a moment of becoming rather than full bloom, capturing the tension between potential and presence.

This work is an invitation to slow observation. It honors nature not as ornament, but as a quiet force—resilient, expressive, and dignified in its simplicity.

Under the sea 2011 - Watercolor on paper

This painting somehow reminds me of The Little Mermaid back when I was daydreaming about going diving one day. 

Artist’s collection. Exhibited at the occasion of the Royal’s visit to Saba in 2011.

Red Heliconia - 2012 Watercolor on paper

Donated to the Harry L. Johnson Museum as part of their auction for fundraising. This painting was exhibited at the occasion of the Royal’s visit in 2013.
Private collection.

This painting explores the quiet intensity of growth and presence found within tropical flora. The flower emerges not as a decorative subject, but as a living form shaped by light, humidity, and time. Through saturated reds and layered greens, I sought to capture the moment where vitality feels almost tactile—where color becomes a language of resilience and motion.

Watercolor allows the image to remain fluid and responsive, mirroring the organic rhythms of the plant itself. Transparent washes build upon one another, creating depth through accumulation rather than force. Edges are allowed to soften and sharpen naturally, reflecting the way nature resists rigid boundaries while maintaining its own internal structure.

The composition moves diagonally, guiding the eye through unfolding petals and surrounding foliage, suggesting both openness and protection. This balance speaks to themes of emergence, strength, and quiet confidence—qualities often overlooked in botanical forms yet deeply resonant in human experience.

Ultimately, this work invites the viewer to slow down and engage with the vitality of living systems. It is a meditation on color, movement, and the enduring elegance of nature as an active, breathing presence rather than a static image.

Orchids 42 x 29.7 cm Watercolor on paper 2009 - Private Collection.

Inspired by a trip to the Singapore Botanic Gardens back in 2008.

Saban cottage - 2025 8” x 10” Watercolor on paper

Collection of Public Entity Saba displayed at the Department of Community Development and Culture. This painting helped to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Saba Day celebrations and was painted during workshops held during this period.

This painting reflects a deep personal connection to place, memory, and the quiet dignity of everyday architecture. The house stands elevated and self-contained, a symbol of resilience and belonging, grounded within a lush landscape that feels both protective and expansive. I was drawn to the contrast between structure and nature—the clean geometry of the home set against organic forms of foliage and land.

Color plays a central role in the emotional language of the work. The red roof anchors the composition and represents warmth, vitality, and human presence, while the surrounding greens and earth tones convey growth, continuity, and the passage of time. The landscape is not intended as a precise depiction of a single location, but rather as a composite of remembered places that carry emotional weight.

Working in a representational yet expressive style allows me to preserve clarity while embracing intuition. Visible brushstrokes and layered washes echo the imperfections and rhythms of lived spaces, emphasizing character over precision. I aim to create scenes that feel familiar yet timeless—places that invite the viewer to pause, reflect, and imagine their own stories within the setting.

Ultimately, this work is about home not just as a physical structure, but as a feeling shaped by environment, memory, and personal history. It is an homage to places that quietly shape who we are, long after we have left them.

This painting was exhibited at Village Artisanal during West Indies Regatta on St.Barth in 2018.

The Turtle 2019 - Watercolor on paper. Sold to private collection.

After a one-time dive at Tent Reef on Saba Island in 2018, I’ve found that the real dreams are when adventures come true. I didn’t see a turtle on that dive but I will never forget the adventure of being underwater on one of the top-rated diving sites in the world.
