This series of small original abstract paintings emerged from focusing purely on color and action. The title, "THINGS ARE WHAT YOU MAKE OF THEM," reflects the way the painting itself is constructed: every thick mark, every scribble, and every layered berry color dictates the final narrative.

The informal process allowed for intense, gestural brushwork in close quarters. The richness of the mauve, plum, and earthy tones feels comforting, yet the sharp eyecatcher of magenta or red adds an essential spark of life and decisiveness. These pieces prove that expression does not require vast scale; they are small containers for big energy. They're perfect to hang tham in pairs, or in a vibrant group, affirming the very idea that they are what you make of them.
