First Things First

48” x 24” 3-Dimensional Oil

This vibrant abstract painting captures the chaotic beauty of the mind in its early moments of awakening. The canvas bursts with bold, fragmented shapes and an explosion of colors—reds, blues, yellows, and greens—arranged like a modern, almost Picasso-like stained glass. Each shape feels like a thought, a fleeting emotion, or a sudden burst of inspiration as the day begins to take form. There’s a sense of movement and energy in the way the colors intersect and clash, yet there’s an underlying harmony, much like the balance we seek when we start our day. This artwork is as much about the moment of waking up as it is about the journey of centering yourself—each color, each shape, and each connection revealing the many layers of what we carry with us into the day
