Wanderlust Summer

This portrait reflects a sense of longing, curiosity, and the quiet pull toward something just beyond reach.

The figure tilts toward the light, her gaze lifted as if drawn by distant possibility. Reflections in the lenses suggest both inner and outer worlds, what is seen, what is imagined, and what calls us forward.

Soft movement in color and form creates an atmosphere of openness, where stillness and motion exist together. There is a sense of pause in this piece, a moment suspended between where we are and where we feel meant to go.

Built through layered color and expressive mark-making, the painting continues to reveal subtle shifts in light, tone, and emotion over time.
