Wholly Surrendered (2025), Oil on linen canvas, 36×48″

This was the first masterpiece I painted after a three-month creative block and a breakthrough retreat in Key West. There, I reconnected with my higher self and with God—returning home filled with gratitude and a renewed faith. This piece marks both spiritual and artistic surrender: a release of pride, perfectionism, and control.

I began by painting a small, unplanned study—using color straight from the tube, breaking my own “rules”—as a way to relearn trust in the process. The larger canvas became an act of devotion and acceptance, a celebration of divine inspiration flowing freely through disciplined hands.
