During my walks along the California beaches, I often gaze at the rows of bungalows and imagine what it would be like to live right on the beach.

Inspired by my trip to Japan, I created a serene depiction of lotus flowers symbolizing rebirth, purity, and enlightenment, blooming beautifully in a tranquil pond at my studio.

Along the coastal highway I never run out of the scenes to paint. Here's another place I had to stop at to capture.

I had always anticipated painting it at some point. Journeying north on Highway 101, the oceans and their dynamic coastlines offer boundless inspiration, both on and off the canvas.

Along the coastline is this charming beach town, the first thing I always do is take a leisurely long walk. immersing myself in my surroundings, embracing the sea breeze and the natural beauty.

I relished capturing the dramatic cliffs and simply being present in that moment. As always, it was a very windy day, and the images I captured became my reference for recreating their magnificence in my warm cozy studio.

I adore driving along Highway 1's northern coastline. Stopping in Monterey to paint the textured cliffs and serene sea on a sunny day was pure joy.

Heading north on the winding Highway 1, with the expansive skies and boundless beauty, the possibilities for painting are endless.

I enjoyed painting all the textures and rich colors of the red rocks. Sedona is always a magical place to explore.
