Hanging By the Moon
captures a girl suspended between worlds, tethered to a glowing crescent as if she has borrowed a fragment of night to carry herself forward. The stars shimmer around her, not as distant lights but as companions. Below, swirling teal currents twist like wind made visible, suggesting both turbulence and wonder.
There is motion here, but also determination. She leans into the dark with her umbrella extended, not falling, not quite flying, but choosing to travel anyway.
A dreamlike exploration of resilience, imagination, and the fragile courage it takes to move through uncertain skies, this 11x17 print brings a touch of celestial rebellion to any space.

Where the water listens
Suspended between sky and reflection, she drifts quietly above a moonlit lake, lifted by fragile balloons and a steady umbrella. The night feels vast, but not empty. Stars flicker like distant witnesses, and below, the water answers in widening rings, as if it has heard her unspoken thoughts.
There is a softness here. Not escape, but surrender. Not falling, but floating in that delicate space between letting go and holding on.
A meditation on trust, solitude, and the quiet conversations we have with ourselves in the dark, this 11x17 print invites stillness, wonder, and a little bit of courage to drift where the water listens.

Keys to nowhere
She stands in the rain, umbrella lowered, as if she has already walked through the storm and decided to stay anyway. Striped stockings, a tilted hat, and drifting carnival balloons hint at a world both playful and haunted. Behind her, a faded emblem lingers like a memory. Below her feet, a winged heart bleeds into the earth.
There is tension here between spectacle and solitude. Between costume and truth. The keys may unlock something, but not everything is meant to be opened.
A moody, story-rich 11x17 print that blends whimsy with shadow, Keys to Nowhere speaks to resilience, hidden histories, and the quiet strength of standing still when the rain refuses to stop.
The Umbrella Girls series began in 2009 as some of my earliest fully realized narrative works, created at a time when I was first discovering how much story could live inside a single image. They were experimental, intuitive, and deeply personal. Over the years, as my technical skills and artistic voice evolved, I returned to the series with fresh eyes. Rather than recreate everything, I carefully revisited and refined the pieces that still resonated most strongly. What remains is a curated collection of my favorites, reimagined with greater depth, texture, and intention, while preserving the emotional core that first brought them to life. This body of work bridges who I was as an emerging artist and who I am now, honoring the beginnings while embracing growth.

The Fox Knows
Beneath a fractured sky and steady rain, she stands with quiet composure, her striped dress and crimson skirt vivid against the muted storm. A small key hangs from her umbrella, as if she carries answers without announcing them. At her side, the fox waits, alert and unwavering.
There is something ancient in this pairing. Instinct beside innocence. Wild wisdom beside fragile poise.
The Fox Knows is a 11x17 print that speaks to intuition, loyalty, and the silent guidance we often ignore. A moody, story-driven piece that blends whimsy with shadow, inviting the viewer to trust what cannot always be explained.

The day the sky turned gold
The storm did not arrive in darkness. It came in light.
Golden rain pours from a sky that feels both apocalyptic and miraculous. Black birds scatter like thoughts startled into flight. A barren tree stretches its branches toward something unseen. And yet she stands steady, boots planted in a reflective pool, holding her green umbrella as if she has decided that whatever falls from the heavens, she will meet it.
There is tension here between destruction and transformation. Gold can be blessing or warning. The question is never what falls from the sky, but who you become while standing beneath it.
An evocative 11x17 print about endurance, change, and the strange beauty that can emerge when everything shifts at once.

The Clockwork Nest
Perched high above the ordinary world, she sits in a nest woven not only from branches, but from gears, fragments, and forgotten mechanisms. Her crimson skirts bloom like a defiant flower against a sky of muted violet. The umbrella she holds is not simply shelter. It is ornament, instrument, relic.
Suspended stars hang nearby like delicate machinery of the heavens. Time itself seems caught in the branches.
The Clockwork Nest is a richly detailed 11x17 print that blends elegance with industry, softness with structure. A piece about sovereignty, creation, and the quiet power of building your own perch in a world that never stops turning.
