The Shape of Human Experience

A collection exploring the emotional landscapes of being human.

Luke was awarded Best in Show in 2026. The painting's exploration of strength, vulnerability, and presence became an important touchstone in the development of The Shape of Human Experience collection.

I am fascinated by those moments when we feel most alive.

Through figures suspended in water, leaping through space, or emerging into light, this collection explores the emotional shapes of the human experience—joy, power, surrender, freedom, wonder, belonging, and grace.

Water becomes both subject and metaphor. It can support us, challenge us, conceal us, and reveal us. Within it, ordinary moments become reflections of something deeper.

Strength is not always force.

Sometimes it is presence.
