Back from Cuba!

Technically I have been back from Cuba for while now:) I made it to Havana in the brief window of time Americans could travel alone there. People have often asked me, “How was Cuba? Sometimes it’s easiest just to say “amazing” because I haven’t quite figured out how to express in a few words what I saw there. The trip transcended being mesmerized by a sea of classic cars and colorful buildings. The genuine connections with the people, their resourcefulness and strength of spirit moved me deeply.  When an experience is bigger than words I get to paint.

Until then…here are a few photos I took:

Upcoming travels include a trip to North Carolina for an Eiffel Tower commission, Chicago and Colorado.

If you would like to see a painting of somewhere special to you, feel free to contact me about a commission on canvas or a smaller study with ink & watercolor on paper. I most recently made this one below from a pool in Palm Springs:)
