About the Artwork: In "Cherish the Light," I painted a memory of my former sunroom in Maryland, focusing on the energy of the space where my family gathered for so many years. The kitchen table, which has since been handed down to my daughter's family, sits bathed in a warm glow—a reminder that rooms and furniture are more than just objects. For me, "light" is a metaphor for the memories these spaces hold, and I always strive to capture that quiet, grateful energy in my work.
