These works engage with contemporary realism through familiar forms—harvests, vessels, and organic subjects drawn from everyday observation. Rather than functioning as direct representations, they extend the same concerns found in her abstract practice: restraint, tonal sensitivity, and the quiet interplay of light across surface.
Form is approached with control and clarity, allowing presence to emerge gradually rather than assert itself—inviting close looking and sustained attention.

Surrounded by radiant light and blue roses, this work reflects Mary as a source of comfort, compassion, and quiet strength. The prayerful gesture invites contemplation of grace as a presence that accompanies daily life, offering solace, guidance, and hope.
Built through layered acrylic paint with gold leaf accents, the composition combines overlapping geometric planes, intentional drips, and scraped passages that reveal underlying colors. The contrast between textured surfaces and luminous highlights creates a quiet sense of movement, echoing the unfolding nature of grace.

Bathed in luminous tones, this painting evokes wonder born of faith and devotion. The upward gaze and radiant atmosphere suggest a heart fully open to grace, inviting reflection on humility, trust, and the beauty of spiritual surrender.
Constructed through successive layers of acrylic, the painting balances translucent glazes with opaque passages to achieve depth and luminosity. Overlapping forms, expressive drips, and scraped textures soften the geometry, allowing light and color to become active elements within the composition.

Encircled by a brilliant halo and clothed in celestial hues, this work reflects Mary's exalted place in heaven. Majesty is expressed through serenity rather than power, revealing a presence marked by dignity, compassion, and enduring peace.
Layered acrylic applications, scraped surfaces, and intentional drips establish a dialogue between structure and spontaneity. Geometric forms are integrated with expressive mark-making, creating a contemporary visual language that emphasizes both the stillness and radiance of the subject.
