“Now” invites a return to presence, the quiet, powerful gift of being fully here. Inspired by The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and the simple exchange, “What time is it? Now,” this creation explores the richness held in each moment. Crackle textures, layered golds, and the Time Collection palette reflect the emotional and experiential layers that exist simultaneously in life. Hand-stamped scripture and imperfect lines nod to the beauty of impermanence and release. Created for the Shevlin Crossing Gallery, this work gently draws the viewer inward, offering a pause from momentum and an invitation to notice what is unfolding right in front of them, right now.
