“Refraction” centers not on light itself, but how it dances off her skin—like moonlight over porcelain. This 16x20 piece blends oil and acrylic to craft an atmosphere of still beauty and fragile strength. The woman portrayed is poised and powerful, with her presence made even more striking by the way light slips across her features. It’s a portrait that feels like a secret—one you want to keep, but can’t help but share.
