" Guarded " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 50"H X 42"W
$50.00

"Guarded" Acrylic Paint & Graphic Design

Some walls aren't meant to hold us forever.

"Guarded" captures a moment of quiet defiance — a feminine face emerging through layers of brick, not with force, but with an undeniable presence. She doesn't shatter the wall. She transcends it. This striking fusion of acrylic paint and graphic design creates a tension between vulnerability and strength that feels deeply, universally human.

Whether she represents a story you've lived, a barrier you're still facing, or a breakthrough you've already claimed — she will mean something different to every person who stands before her. That is the power of this piece: it doesn't just decorate a space, it speaks to it.

"Guarded" commands attention in any room, drawing the eye and sparking conversation. Best for two framing sizes to suit your space:

  • Small: 21"H × 18"W — intimate and impactful, perfect for a bedroom, office, or gallery wall

  • Large: 50"H × 42"W — a bold statement piece that anchors any living room or open space

Add a piece to your collection that reminds you — and everyone who enters your space — that what lies beneath the surface is always worth discovering

" Wonderful OZ " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 47.24"W X 57.9"H
$47.00

"Wonderful OZ" Mixed Media — Acrylic Paint & Graphic Design on Canvas

The hardest journey isn't the one you take to confront someone. It's the one you take to forgive them.

"Wonderful OZ" doesn't just invite you to look — it places you directly on the path. From the moment your eyes meet this canvas, you are walking. Moving forward. Somewhere between the world you know and the one waiting on the other side of your own healing.

This deeply personal work was born from artist Jonathan D. Burns' real journey toward forgiving his father. He discovered that confrontation wasn't the answer — that the true road to healing required something far more courageous: recognizing that the people who hurt us are not monsters. They are human beings, navigating their own pain, their own unfinished journeys.

And the eyes? They are everywhere — watching, witnessing, reminding us of an uncomfortable truth we all carry. Just as we judge others, we too are being judged. No one walks through life unseen. No one is exempt from the grace they withhold from others.

This is art that does not let you look away. It challenges you, moves you, and ultimately — if you let it — frees you.

Rendered in rich mixed media of acrylic paint and graphic design on canvas,

"Wonderful OZ" is available up to 47.24"W × 57.9"H — large enough to command a room, meaningful enough to change one.

Hang it where you need the reminder most. Forgiveness is always worth the journey.

" Quietly Waiting " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 87"H X 120"W
$45.00

"Quietly Waiting" Acrylic Paint & Graphic Design

She has always been there. You just have to look closer.

"Quietly Waiting" is more than a portrait — it is an invitation. A woman's face quietly sits behind a veil of abstract botanicals, partially hidden behind dark purple plants and soft pastel flowers, present yet unhurried. She is not lost. She is simply waiting to be discovered by someone worthy of truly seeing her.

The warmth of her earth-toned skin glows beneath the cool softness of the florals surrounding her, creating a contrast that feels both natural and breathtaking. Light against dark. Warmth against softness. Visibility against mystery.

This is the kind of artwork that reveals itself slowly — details you didn't notice on first glance become the details you can't stop thinking about. It doesn't just fill a wall. It fills a room with feeling.

Available in sizes up to 87"H × 120"W, "Quietly Waiting" is designed to make a lasting impression, whether as an expansive centerpiece in a grand living space or scaled to bring quiet elegance to a more intimate setting.

Bring her home. She's been waiting long enough.

" Tree of Life " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 120"W X 91.81"H
$55.00

"Tree of Life" Acrylic Paint & Graphic Design | A Jonah Artfolio Original by Jonathan D. Burns

Some art asks to be seen. This one asks to be felt.

"Tree of Life" is a bold, hypnotic work that pulls you in before you fully understand why. Two vivid faces — stacked, mirrored, inseparable — emerge from a black void, their skin ablaze with fiery oranges, electric yellows, and earthy greens. A bare, sprawling tree grows between them, its dark branches stretching across both figures like a shared nervous system, a shared history, a shared soul.

And then you notice the eyes.

Peering through the branches with quiet intensity, they watch you the way only meaningful art can — making you feel simultaneously seen and searching. The luminous blue canopy crowning the composition radiates an almost otherworldly energy, contrasting the warmth below with cool, celestial depth.

This is a piece about duality. About roots. About the lives we carry within us and the ones we pass forward. Every detail rewards a longer look — the layered textures, the bold graphic lines, the collision of the natural and the human.

"Tree of Life" is available up to a breathtaking 120"W × 91.81"H — a true statement piece that will anchor any space with power, conversation, and soul.

This is not just art for your wall. It is art for your story.

" Twin 1 " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 50"W X 58.75"H
$30.00

There are faces we show the world, and faces we keep only for ourselves. Twin 1 dares to paint both at once.

At the heart of this extraordinary work, two expressions of the same face emerge side by side — one rendered in bold, fragmented planes of crimson, cobalt, and teal like a cubist dream; the other shimmering in iridescent golds and bronzes, as if glimpsed through a mirror that reveals more than it reflects. Together, they are not opposites — they are twins. Two truths of the same soul.

Rising above the figure, a magnificent crown of golden, textured forms — organic, wild, and regal — spreads like ancient coral or the canopy of a sacred tree. Woven through it all, bare white branches stretch like exposed nerve endings, rooting the figure to something primal and alive. Below, a neck draped in gold and magenta patterns anchors the composition with warmth and rhythm.

The cool grey background lets every vivid element breathe, giving this piece an almost cinematic presence — calm and electric at the same time.

Created by Jonathan D. Burns in acrylic paint and graphic design, Twin 1 is more than a portrait. It's a meditation on duality, identity, and the lush complexity of being human. At 50" × 58.75", it doesn't just hang on a wall — it owns it.

Own your Twin. $30.

This is a beautiful work — the Burns has a real gift for layering texture and symbolism.


" Twin 2 " The Other Face of the Mirror Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 50"W X 58.33"H
$30.00

If Twin 1 is the self we present to the world, Twin 2 is the self that watches from within — untamed, symmetrical, and impossible to look away from.

Where its counterpart offered duality through contrast, Twin 2 confronts you with perfect, almost unsettling symmetry. The face at the center is kaleidoscopic — deep blues, purples, and iridescent patterns fold over one another like a vision seen through sacred geometry. Bold strokes of gold frame the features like a ceremonial mask, part human, part deity, entirely commanding. Two wide, piercing eyes stare back with quiet intensity, as if they have always been watching.

Surrounding the figure, a halo of golden textured forms — echoing Twin 1's crown — arcs outward like outstretched arms or ancient antlers. White branching forms weave through them like lightning frozen in time, while dark crimson and magenta foliage bursts at the edges, wild and untamed against the cool grey calm of the background. Below, the figure dissolves into loose, expressive brushwork — raw and unfinished, as if the twin is still becoming.

Together with Twin 1, this piece completes a conversation about identity, the inner and outer self, and the beauty found in complexity. Alone, it is a singular, magnetic work that transforms any space it inhabits.

Created by Jonathan D. Burns in acrylic paint and graphic design, Twin 2 measures 50" × 58.33" — large enough to fill a room with presence, and layered enough to reward every second glance.

" Ele - gent " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 45"W X 41.6"H
$33.00

Some creatures don't need to demand respect — they simply carry it. Ele-gent captures exactly that truth.

Rendered in sweeping strokes of seafoam, mint, and aquamarine, this majestic elephant emerges from a cool grey stillness like a vision from another world. Its great ears spread wide like golden wings — rich, leafed in warmth — framing the figure with an almost royal authority. The soft teal lines that define its form are fluid and free, giving the animal an ethereal, almost translucent quality, as if you're seeing not just the elephant, but the essence of the elephant.

At the crown of the composition, a brilliant burst of deep violet, cobalt, and jewel-toned complexity draws the eye like a hidden universe nestled between the ears — intricate, mysterious, and alive. It is the mind of the beast made visible: ancient, layered, and vast. Below it, the trunk descends in rhythmic, striped brushwork, grounding the piece with quiet dignity, its copper-toned tip the final note in a perfectly composed symphony of color.

Ele-gent is at once wild and refined, bold and serene — much like the animal it celebrates. It brings the spirit of one of nature's most intelligent and soulful creatures into your home, not as decoration, but as a presence.

At 45" × 41.6", this piece commands attention without demanding it — the very definition of elegance.

Bring home the gentle giant. Own Ele-gent.

" Philosophical Nonsense " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design120"W X 108"H
$58.00

"Philosophical Nonsense" — Deep Thoughts. Deeper Hair.

This person is thinking. Hard. About what, exactly? Nobody knows. Maybe the meaning of life. Maybe why we park in driveways and drive on parkways. Maybe nothing at all — and that's precisely the point.

Philosophical Nonsense is a portrait of the thinker in their natural habitat: lost in their own head, finger raised to chin, eyes wide open yet somehow a million miles away. Rendered in striking monochrome, the figure's face is a study in quiet intensity — until you notice the eyes, where all the color in the universe seems to have taken up residence. One iris glows with cool green and gold, the other burns with swirling violet and magenta, as if each eye belongs to a completely different and equally brilliant train of thought.

And then there is the hair. Magnificent, gravity-defying, cosmically scaled — a halo of electric blue, deep purple, and smoldering crimson that erupts from the figure like a solar flare of pure creative energy. It does not ask for your attention. It simply takes it. All of it. Immediately.

The whole thing floats against a background of screaming, unapologetic yellow — because when your thoughts are this big, a quiet backdrop simply will not do.

At a monumental 120" × 108", Philosophical Nonsense doesn't just fill a wall. It fills a room. It fills a mood. It may even fill a void you didn't know you had.

Warning: prolonged viewing may cause spontaneous deep thoughts, unsolicited opinions on the nature of reality, and an inexplicable urge to stare at the ceiling at 2am.

Own the nonsense. Embrace the philosophy.

" Seasons On the Brain " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 50"W X 64.42"H
$60.00

"Seasons On the Brain" — Every Chapter, All at Once

Life doesn't change gradually. It shifts — sometimes all at once, sometimes all over again — and before you know it, you are carrying every version of yourself you have ever been, all at the same time. Seasons On the Brain is that feeling, made visible.

Just as nature moves through spring's renewal, summer's intensity, autumn's letting go, and winter's quiet reckoning, so too do we. We cycle through seasons of joy and grief, of becoming and unbecoming, of love found and love lost, of who we were and who we are still figuring out how to be. And rarely do these seasons arrive one at a time. More often, they pile on top of each other — swirling, overlapping, pulling us in every direction at once.

That is precisely what Burns has captured here. Waves of sun-scorched yellow, volcanic orange, electric green, and deep violet spiral outward from a central face in glorious, overwhelming motion — every color a different chapter, every swirl a different storm weathered or a different joy embraced. The canvas itself seems to breathe with the weight of it all.

And yet — at the center of the chaos — one eye gazes out. Clear. Blue. Steady. Because no matter how many seasons converge at once, there is always a part of us that remains whole. That watches. That endures. Above it, a butterfly-like form emerges from the turbulence, jeweled and symmetrical — the beautiful pattern that only reveals itself when you step back far enough to see the full picture. The open mouth below releases it all in a silent exhale — not of defeat, but of someone who has lived deeply and is still standing.

Seasons On the Brain is for anyone who has ever felt pulled apart by life's changes — and discovered, somewhere in the beautiful wreckage, that all those seasons were simply chapters of a story worth telling.

At 50" × 64.42", this is not a painting you hang on a wall. It is a painting that hangs with you — through every season.

Your story has never looked so beautiful.

" Repaired Pieces " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 65"W X 87.21"H
$70.00

"Repaired Pieces" — Whole. Always Whole.

The world has opinions. It always does. Too much of this, not enough of that. Too loud, too quiet, too different, not different enough. And for a while — maybe a long while — those opinions can feel like cracks in the mirror, distorting the reflection staring back at you.

Repaired Pieces is the moment you stop believing them.

This face fills the entire canvas — unapologetic, immersive, impossible to look away from. It does not ask for your approval. It does not shrink. It expands, edge to edge, in cascading waves of deep cobalt, electric teal, and vivid green — the colors of depth, of intuition, of someone who has learned to trust what they know about themselves over what others have decided for them. Flecks of fiery orange and red pulse beneath the surface like embers — not wounds, but warmth. Not damage, but fuel.

Look closely and the face reveals its complexity — layered, textured, built from countless individual strokes that only resolve into something magnificent when seen as a whole. This is not a perfect face. It was never meant to be. The pieces are visible, the layers exposed, the construction unhidden. And yet — or rather, because of this — it is breathtaking.

The eyes are steady and green, clear as still water, gazing outward with the quiet confidence of someone who has walked through doubt and come out the other side not defeated, but decided. Decided that beauty is not the absence of flaws. Decided that strength is not the absence of struggle. Decided that worth is not determined by the verdict of those who never took the time to truly look.

Repaired Pieces is not a painting about brokenness. It is a painting about the profound, hard-won realization that you were never broken to begin with. The cracks were just the places where the light was getting in — and the color was getting out.

At 65" × 87.21", this piece stands nearly as tall as a person — because it had to. Some truths need room to breathe.

You are not your flaws. You are not their opinions. You are this — layered, luminous, and whole.

" Let Us Recharge " Medium: Acrylic paint & Graphic design 40"W X 24"H
$133.31

"Let Us Recharge" — The Sacred Power of Three

Three has always been a magic number. Throughout human history, across cultures, philosophies, and spiritual traditions, the number three has represented something complete — something whole. The mind, body, and spirit. The past, present, and future. The beginning, the middle, and the end. Three is not just a number. It is a rhythm. A cycle. A reminder that wholeness is achieved not in a single moment, but in stages.

Let Us Recharge understands this deeply.

Three figures sit in identical stillness — cross-legged, grounded, eyes lifted slightly upward as if receiving something invisible but essential from the universe above. Each one is the same man. Each one is a completely different journey. The first bathes in warm copper, turquoise, and violet — the colors of fire being tamed, of raw energy finding its center. His background pulses with cool lavender symmetry, a world settling into calm. The second deepens into rich mahogany and burnt orange, more rooted, more interior — the middle of the process, where the real work of restoration happens quietly and without audience. The third shimmers in silver and cobalt — cooler, lighter, luminous — the figure of someone who has completed the cycle, refilled, and is ready once again.

Together they tell the story that every human being knows but too often ignores: recharging is not weakness. It is not laziness. It is not optional. It is the most powerful thing you can do. And like all powerful things, it happens in stages — one breath, one phase, one version of yourself at a time.

Behind each figure, an explosion of kaleidoscopic pattern radiates outward — intricate, symmetrical, alive — as if the universe itself is vibrating in response to the act of stillness. Because it is. When we stop, we do not disappear. We expand.

At 40" × 24", Let Us Recharge is a daily reminder — hang it where you begin your mornings, end your evenings, or return to yourself in between.

Three figures. One message. Sit down. Breathe. Recharge.

" A Lady & Her Scarf " Medium: Photography & graphic design and photography.
$350.00

"A Lady & Her Scarf" — Everybody's Someone

You know her.

You have always known her. She is not famous. She does not have a title or a trophy or a plaque on any wall. But walk into any room she occupies and something shifts — the temperature warms, the tension eases, and somehow, without anyone quite knowing how, everyone feels a little more at home than they did a moment ago.

She is that woman. And there is one in every life lucky enough to have one.

She sits close to the frame — close enough that you feel like you are already in the room with her, already caught in the warm radius of everything she radiates. Her smile is mid-bloom, the kind that arrives not because something funny happened but because smiling is simply her natural resting state, her default setting, her most authentic face. Her eyes — bright, sharp, and entirely present — look directly at you with the particular warmth of someone who is genuinely, completely glad you are here. Not politely glad. Not socially glad. Truly glad. The way only certain people know how to be.

Her hair rises in a beautiful silver-blue crown, soft and full, worn with the effortless dignity of a woman who stopped seeking anyone's approval about her appearance a very long time ago and has been radiant ever since. Around her shoulders and chest, a magnificent garment cascades in deep jewel tones — rich purple, emerald green, cobalt blue — swirling in ornate, botanical patterns that speak of warmth and abundance and a life lived in full, vivid color. This is not a woman who fades into the background. She fills every room she enters, not with noise, but with presence.

Layered across her portrait, translucent shapes drift like memories and moments — the accumulated history of a woman who has touched more lives than she will ever fully know or take credit for. She does not keep count. That is not why she does it.

She mothers everyone. Not because she was asked to. Not because it is her obligation. But because somewhere along the way she decided — quietly, completely, and without announcement — that love was not a finite resource to be rationed carefully among the deserving few, but an endless thing to be given freely, generously, and without condition to anyone who crossed her path and needed it.

It does not matter how old you are. It does not matter how tall you stand or how long ago you left childhood behind. The moment you are in her presence something in you remembers what it felt like to be looked after — truly looked after — and you find yourself exhaling in a way you did not realize you had been holding.

She will feed you. She will ask about your life and actually listen to the answer. She will tell you the truth when you need it and hold your hand when you need that instead. She will not complain about her own burdens because she does not consider them burdens. She will pray for you after you leave. She will remember your name, your story, your struggles, and your triumphs long after you have forgotten that you told her any of it.

And through all of it — the giving, the holding, the nurturing, the loving — she will be wearing something fabulous.

A Lady & Her Scarf is a portrait of the women who hold the world together without ever being asked to, without ever demanding recognition, without ever running out. It is a tribute to every grandmother, every neighbor, every church mother, every auntie, every woman who made you feel like you belonged simply by the way she looked at you.

You know her.

And if you are very, very lucky — she knows you too.

" BLACK KNIGHT INNER LIGHT " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design Prints available in various sizes
from $30.00

"Black Knight Inner Light" — Different Was Never the Problem

There has always been someone who didn't fit the mold. Someone who walked into the room and changed the temperature without trying. Someone who followed a different code, heard a different drumbeat, and rode a different road entirely — not because they were lost, but because they knew exactly where they were going and none of the existing paths led there.

That person is the Black Knight.

He arrives cloaked in darkness — a great sweeping mass of twisted, flame-like forms that would unsettle lesser souls. His wide brimmed hat cuts a silhouette that is instantly, unmistakably his own. Beneath it, a face rendered in deep green and magenta — otherworldly, ancient, unhurried — stares forward with eyes that glow like twin stars. Not with anger. Not with defiance. With something far more dangerous to the status quo: absolute certainty.

He knows who he is.

And beneath the darkness of his exterior, something extraordinary reveals itself. Brilliant kaleidoscopic color — violet, cobalt, electric green, fiery orange — erupts from within, geometric and luminous, like a cathedral window hidden inside armor. This is the truth that those who only see the surface will always miss: the ones who look the most unconventional on the outside are often carrying the most light within. The outcast. The rebel. The one who refused to perform normalcy for the comfort of others.

He is not evil. He is not broken. He is not lost. He simply refused — quietly, completely, and without apology — to live in shame for being exactly who he is.

Behind him, a perfect circle of deep teal glows like a halo that belongs to no religion and every religion at once. The universe, it seems, has its own way of crowning those who dare to be themselves without permission.

The Black Knight does not seek your approval. He never did. He rides not toward acceptance but toward something rarer and more valuable — the freedom that comes from knowing that your worth was never up for a vote.

Black Knight Inner Light is for every person who has ever been called too much, too strange, too different — and chose to wear it like armor anyway.

The mold was never made for everyone. Some of us were built to ride beyond it.

" Refreshed " Medium: Photography & Graphic Design
from $88.00

"Refreshed" — The Art of Letting Go

There is a moment — if you are lucky enough to find it — when you simply put it all down.

Not because the weight wasn't real. Not because the pain didn't matter. Not because the worry, the fear, the anger, the grief were somehow undeserved. But because you finally, fully, and completely decide that carrying it all is no longer the life you choose. That moment — that exact, liberating, terrifying, beautiful moment — is what Refreshed captures in breathtaking detail.

She is not running. She is not fighting. She is not even trying very hard at all. She is simply looking up — chin lifted, eyes gazing somewhere beyond the frame, beyond the noise, beyond every story that was told about her and every burden she agreed to carry. In her hand, a single spectacular bloom reaches toward her face like nature's own invitation — fiery orange petals and wild zebra-striped stems bursting with life, color, and the uncomplicated joy of simply existing. She accepts the invitation. She breathes it in.

Her skin shimmers in layers of deep teal, cobalt, and aquamarine — cool, fluid, and alive — as if she has already begun transforming, already becoming something lighter. Across her body, kaleidoscopic flora blooms and mirrors itself in perfect symmetry, as if the act of letting go has caused something inside her to blossom in response. Her crown of deep crimson hair crowns the composition like a flame that has finally found its purpose — not to burn, but to illuminate.

Behind her, a vast wash of warm gold fills the canvas like sunlight filling a room when someone finally opens the curtains after a very long time. It is the color of mornings that feel new. Of afternoons with nowhere urgent to be. Of the quiet, golden ordinary moments that become extraordinary the second you stop being too distracted to notice them.

This is what letting go looks like. Not collapse. Not defeat. Not emptiness. But this — open, luminous, upward facing, fully present, and finally free.

Refreshed is a reminder that joy does not always arrive in grand gestures. Sometimes it arrives in a flower. In a breath. In the simple, radical decision to release what no longer serves you and turn your face toward the light.

At its heart, this piece is not about what was left behind. It is entirely about what becomes possible the moment you let it go.

Breathe it in. Let it go. Begin again.

" LaKeyVa " MEDIUM: Colored pencil & Graphic Design $20"W X 24"H
from $44.00

"LaKeyVa" is a colorful portrait of stillness in the midst of motion. A woman's face — warm, grounded, and quietly radiant — sits at the center of layered geometric shapes that swirl and overlap around her in electric greens, soft golds, and gentle purples. The world spins. She does not.

The shapes closing in from every direction represent the noise of life — the doubts, the opinions, the negativity that constantly presses inward. And yet she remains. Unhurried. Unshaken. Fully herself.

Her name says it all:

LLive fearlessly in your truth aAnchor yourself when the world shifts KKnow your worth without permission eEmbrace the essence of who you truly are yYour story belongs to you alone VValue your peace above all else aAlways return to your center

This piece is a reminder — hang it where you need it most. When the noise gets loud, when doubt creeps in, when the world tries to pull you off course — look at her. Look at LaKeyVa. And come back to yourself.

Available in 20"W × 24"H — the perfect size to make a deeply personal and visually stunning statement in any space.

" Channel Jungle " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design various sizes available
from $58.25

"Channel Jungle" — He Found His Way Out

There are places we go when the world becomes too much. Not physical places — though sometimes those too — but interior ones. Dense, tangled, overgrown places inside ourselves where we retreat when the noise gets too loud, when the hurt cuts too deep, when existing among other people feels like a language we no longer speak fluently. We disappear into our own wilderness. We go quiet. We go dark. We survive.

And then — if we are strong enough, if we are ready — we begin the long walk back out.

Channel Jungle is that walk. Captured in a single, extraordinary moment.

He emerges from the canvas like a man stepping out of shadow and into something he hasn't touched in a very long time — light. His face, rendered in striking black, white and grey, carries every mile of the journey in its expression. The eyes are wide open and searching, alert in the way that only someone who has spent a long time alone truly understands — taking in everything, trusting slowly, but moving forward nonetheless. A crown of white sweeps across his brow like the first breath of open air after a long time underground. He is not fully out yet. But he is coming.

Behind and around him, the jungle refuses to release him quietly. Lush horizontal bands of deep emerald, warm gold, and soft blush pulse across the composition like the heartbeat of the wilderness itself — vivid, symmetrical, and alive. Exotic creatures and botanical forms mirror themselves in perfect symmetry on either side, as if nature is bearing witness to his emergence, holding ceremony for his return. Dark tangled forms reach upward from below like roots that held him for years — not with malice, but because the wilderness does not let go easily of those who made it their home.

But he is stronger than the roots now.

This is not the face of someone who was defeated by their isolation. This is the face of someone who was forged by it. Someone who spent time in the jungle — the real one and the internal one — and came out the other side with something that cannot be taught, cannot be purchased, and cannot be faked: the quiet, unshakeable resolve of a person who has already survived the hardest version of themselves.

The world is loud. The world is complicated. The world is at times ugly and overwhelming and relentless. He knows this. He has always known this. It is precisely why he left.

But he is ready now. Eyes open. Head up. Stepping forward.

Channel Jungle is for everyone who has ever needed to disappear for a while — and for everyone who has found the courage to come back. It is a portrait of resilience not as a triumphant roar, but as a quiet, determined step toward the light.

The jungle shaped him. But it could not keep him. He is here now. And he is ready.

“ Back to Beginnings “ Framed poster Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design various sizes
from $76.50

"Back to Beginnings" — Your People Are Out There. Way Out There.

Let's be honest. There are days — many days — when this planet feels like the wrong planet entirely. Like somehow, somewhere between birth and now, there was a cosmic mix-up and you ended up here among people who speak a language you never quite learned, following rules that never quite made sense, living in a world that was clearly designed by and for someone who is decidedly not you.

You are not broken. You are not wrong. You are simply from somewhere else.

And so is he.

At the center of Back to Beginnings stands a figure in a magnificent yellow hoodie — the universal color of someone who refuses to blend into the darkness around them — his face a swirling, vivid cosmos of orange, cobalt, violet and red, a whole universe contained within a single expression. He is not quite of this world. His features shift and layer like something assembled from starlight and imagination rather than ordinary earthly materials. And yet — he is smiling. Broadly. Completely. The smile of someone who has just found exactly where they belong.

Above him, a ringed planet glows like a celestial living room — warm, orbited, and alive. Tiny figures drift through the deep navy cosmos around him — one floats beside a luminous tree growing straight out of the stars, lost in quiet wonder. Another tumbles freely through space with the unbothered energy of someone who decided long ago that falling and flying are essentially the same thing. Below, a small figure sits cross legged and reads, perfectly content, surrounded by kaleidoscopic patterns that pulse like the heartbeat of a home finally found.

This is the tribe. Scattered across the cosmos, weird in their own wonderful ways, completely unbothered by the vastness of the universe around them because they have found each other in it. The readers and the dreamers and the floaters and the wanderers. The ones who never fit the mold because they were always meant for something far more interesting than the mold.

The deep navy background is not lonely darkness — it is infinite possibility. It is the space between stars where the most interesting people have always gathered, the ones too luminous and too layered to be contained by ordinary gravity.

Back to Beginnings is a love letter to everyone who ever felt like an alien in their own life — and then discovered, against all odds, that their people were out there all along. Maybe just a little further out than most. Maybe orbiting a different sun. But there. Always there.

You were never too weird. You were never too much. You were simply waiting to find your constellation.

Welcome home. Your tribe has been saving you a seat among the stars.

“ Reptilian Humanoid “ Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design
$400.00

"Reptilian Humanoid" — He Was Never One of Us

Look at him long enough and you will start to wonder.

He has the face. He has the posture. He stands where a person would stand and occupies space the way a person would occupy it. But something — something you cannot name, something that lives just beneath the surface of the rational mind — tells you that what you are looking at is not quite what it appears to be. Something ancient is looking back at you through those yellow-green eyes. Something that has been here much longer than you. Something that learned to wear the shape of a man the way you might wear a coat — conveniently, temporarily, and without particular attachment to it.

He is not human. He is just shaped like one.

His skin shifts across the canvas in scales of deep emerald, electric teal, cobalt and magenta — chromatic and cold-blooded, beautiful in the way that dangerous things are always beautiful, luminous in the way that things without conscience tend to glow. An amber crown traces the edge of his hairline like a warning no one thought to read in time. Behind him, rows of figures blur and repeat in the darkness — a world full of people, none of them him, all of them irrelevant to whatever it is he came here to do.

He blends. That is perhaps the most unsettling thing about him. He has studied you — all of you — with the patient, unblinking attention of a creature that has no emotional stake in what it observes, only tactical interest. He knows how you move, how you speak, what you respond to, what you fear, what you want. He wears your language like a second skin. He mirrors your gestures back at you until you feel seen, understood, known — and by the time you realize that nothing was ever truly reflected, that there was never anyone home behind the performance, it is already too late.

He became the darkness a long time ago. Not because he got lost in it. But because he looked at it and recognized something familiar. Something that felt, for the first time, like home.

Is he good? He doesn't know. More honestly — he doesn't particularly care to find out. That question belongs to a world that runs on conscience and consequence, on guilt and apology and the exhausting calculus of right and wrong. He does not live in that world. He lives in a world of pure, clean, uncomplicated momentum. Forward. Always forward. On his own terms, at his own pace, toward whatever he has decided he wants — and the opinions of everyone standing between him and it are noted, filed, and promptly disregarded.

Was he made this way? Did the world strip something out of him so early and so thoroughly that what grew back was something altogether different from what was intended? Or was he simply always this — born without the particular wiring that makes ordinary humans hesitate, second guess, hold back?

Who knows.

More importantly — who is going to stop him?

No one.

Because you cannot stop something that doesn't recognize your authority to do so. You cannot slow down something that was never operating on your timeline. You cannot reach something that decided long ago that being unreachable was not a flaw but a feature. He does not go where he is sent. He does not stop when he is told. He does not shrink when he is challenged or pause when he is questioned or soften when he is needed to be soft.

He is not of this world. He is simply — for now, for reasons entirely his own — in it.

Reptilian Humanoid does not ask for your judgment. It does not seek your sympathy or your condemnation. It simply holds up a face — extraordinary, unsettling, impossible to look away from — and asks you one quiet question:

Have you ever met someone like this?

And then, more quietly still:

Are you sure you haven't become one?

He was never lost. He was never found. He was always exactly where he chose to be.

" A Smart Child " Medium: Acrylic paint & graphic design 30"W X 40"H
from $89.00

"A Smart Child" — She Is Watching. They All Are.

Before you say another word — look closer.

She is already there. Chin resting in her hand, elbows on the fence, big orange frames magnifying eyes that miss absolutely nothing. Above her head, a lightbulb glows warm and golden — not as a symbol, but as a fact. This child is electric. She is buzzing with ideas so big they have outgrown her small frame and are floating right above her head for anyone paying attention to see. Three fluffy hair puffs of deep violet crown her like the royalty she doesn't yet know she is. She is curious. She is brilliant. She is watching you with the focused, unblinking intensity of someone who is learning everything they will ever need to know about the world — and they are learning it from you.

Look at the background. Really look.

Hundreds of eyes stare back from the chartreuse and gold patterned wall behind her — watching, witnessing, recording. This is not coincidence. This is the whole point. Children are never just present in a room. They are absorbing the room. Every word spoken carelessly. Every cruelty modeled casually. Every limitation imposed thoughtlessly. Every dream dismissed with a wave of an adult hand that decided it knew better. The eyes in the background are every child who ever sat quietly in a corner and learned — not from a textbook, but from watching the grown people around them decide what the world was allowed to be.

And yet — she is still here. Still leaning forward. Still curious. Still glowing. The lightbulb has not gone out. Not yet. She still believes in the ideas floating above her head. She still looks at the world with wonder rather than wounds. She is still, magnificently, herself.

But she is watching you. And the question this painting asks — quietly, directly, through those enormous searching eyes behind those bold orange frames — is simply this:

What are you showing her?

What version of the world are you performing in front of this child who is taking notes on everything? What beliefs are you planting in soil that will grow whatever you put into it? What ceilings are you building in a mind that was born without any? What are you doing with the extraordinary privilege and responsibility of being witnessed by someone whose entire future is still being written?

A Smart Child is not just a portrait. It is a mirror held up to every adult who has ever been in the presence of a child and forgotten — just for a moment, just carelessly enough — that what they do in that moment matters more than they will ever fully understand.

The lightbulb is still on. Keep it that way.

Guard her ideas like they are the most important things in the world. Because they are. Because she is. Because once you dim that light — you cannot always get it back.

" Just a Teen " Medium: Colored pencil 20"W X 30"H
from $46.00

"Just a Teen" — The In Between

There is a moment — quiet, unannounced, and impossible to prepare for — when a girl looks up and realizes the world has begun to see her differently. Nothing dramatic happened. No ceremony was held. No one asked if she was ready. The world simply shifted its gaze, adjusted its expectations, and suddenly the rules changed in ways nobody bothered to explain.

She is sitting in that moment right now.

Just a Teen captures her in the tender, luminous language of colored pencil — warm golds and burnt oranges radiating from her skin like sunlight trying its best to stay. She sits with one knee drawn up, casual and self-contained, wearing the uniform of in-between: a simple white tee, denim shorts, striped socks — neither the clothes of a little girl nor the armor of a grown woman. Just herself. Just here. Just figuring it out.

Her expression is the most honest thing in the room. There is no smile —it is the look of someone thinking, not just feeling. Her eyes carry something new in them, something that wasn't there before, a quiet awareness that the world outside is louder and more complicated than it used to be. She has begun to feel the difference. The way people look at her now. The way conversations change. The way certain doors seem to open while others quietly close. The way her own body feels like a place she is still learning to live in.

And in the stillness of this portrait she is asking — not out loud, not yet, but in the way that teenagers ask everything, which is with their whole silent being — what does this actually mean?

Society has answers ready. It always does. Becoming a woman means this. Act like this. Look like this. Want this. Be this. The world has a very specific script for the girl who is no longer quite a girl, and it hands it over without asking whether she wants the role.

But here, in this portrait, she has not accepted the script yet. She is still in the pause before the answer. Still in the sacred, complicated, underestimated space of becoming — where the most important questions are not about what womanhood looks like on the outside, but what it feels like on the inside. Whether it is defined by the things society insists upon or by the quiet, growing, unshakeable sense of self that no amount of outside noise can fully drown out.

A soft blue glow crowns her head like a last tender nod to the childhood that is slowly, gently releasing its hold. The background breathes in cool, open grey — vast and unhurried, as if the world is, just this once, giving her a little room to think.

She is not a woman yet. She is not a child anymore. She is something rarer and more precious than either — she is a girl on the edge of herself, meeting her own future for the very first time.

Just a Teen is for every woman who remembers that moment. And for every girl who is living it right now.

You don't have to have it figured out yet. Becoming is enough. You are enough. Exactly as you are, right now, in the in between.

" Girl Mug " Medium: Colored pencil 24"W X 36"H
from $38.00

"Girl Mug" — Don't Let the Face Fool You

She is not angry. She is not rude. She is not difficult. She is not a problem to be solved or an attitude to be corrected or a personality to be softened for the comfort of a world that has never quite known what to do with a girl who refuses to be easily moved.

She is simply — tough!

And she would like you to know that upfront.

She stands square to the canvas, overalls on, chin level, eyes fixed directly on yours with an expression that has been misread a thousand times by people who mistook strength for hostility and self possession for arrogance. They called it a mug. She calls it a shield. She calls it armor. She calls it the face you wear when you have already decided — before the world gets the chance to test you — that you will not be broken by it.

Her skin glows in warm gold and amber, rendered in the intimate language of colored pencil, every stroke a quiet testament to the care that went into capturing not just a face but a force. Her hair crowns her in deep violet — rich, full, unapologetically her own. Small gold hoops catch the light at her ears like tiny declarations of femininity that coexist beautifully and without contradiction alongside every ounce of her toughness. She is soft and hard at the same time. She is gentle and immovable at the same time. She contains multitudes and she owes no one an explanation for any of them.

And behind her — look at what she is standing in front of.

Hills. Not one. Not two. An entire landscape of them, rolling and overlapping endlessly in waves of red, green and blush — obstacle after obstacle after obstacle stacked against the horizon as far as the eye can see. The world did not lay flat for her. It never does for girls like her. The road ahead is not easy, not straight, not smooth, not fair.

She already knows this.

That is precisely why she looks the way she looks.

Because a girl who has decided she will get over every hill doesn't waste her energy pretending the hills aren't there. She sees them clearly — all of them, every single one — and she squares her shoulders and she sets her face and she keeps moving. Not because it isn't hard. But because hard was never a reason to stop for a girl who was built for exactly this.

Girl Mug is for every tough girl who was ever told to smile more, soften up, calm down, or make herself less intimidating for the sake of people who were simply unprepared for her. It is for every woman who remembers being that girl. And for every girl who is standing right now at the bottom of a very big hill wondering if she has what it takes.

She does. She always did.

The hills don't stand a chance. They never did.
