What The Thermal Body Collection Means To Others
How my energy became a mirror for healing
When I first started painting the Thermal Body Collection I was focused on my own energy. I wanted to release what I felt and find peace through color. I did not realize how many people would see themselves in the work.
The messages began coming in slowly. Women saying they felt seen. Men saying the colors reminded them of strength. People from places I had never been thanking me for showing what emotion looks like when it is finally free. That changed how I viewed everything I was creating.
The Thermal Body Collection stopped being just mine. It became a reflection of everyone who needed warmth. People tell me that the colors make them feel calm, that the glow in each piece feels alive. That connection means everything to me. It proves that energy moves through art the same way it moves through people.
When someone connects with my work I know it has done its job. It has carried light from one soul to another. That is what art is supposed to do.
The Thermal Body Collection became more than a series. It became a reminder that we all feel heat the same way. We all carry stories in our skin. We all need something that reminds us to keep glowing.
The energy was mine when I created it, but it belongs to everyone now.

What Comes After The Thermal Body Collection
The Thermal Body Collection opened a door I did not know I was ready to walk through. It showed me that color can speak louder than words, that energy can tell stories no language can hold. Now I am ready to take that feeling further.

The Crossroads of Becoming
I found it by accident. Tucked between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore, half-hidden by ivy and time, stood a rusted phone booth. Not the sleek glass kind from movies, but an old metal one—peeling paint, cracked receiver, a dial so stiff it groaned when turned. No one had used it in years. Probably decades.
