Paintings that translate feeling into form.

This series began with Connection, a stark image of two hands reaching across a dark void, painted during a time when my marriage was unraveling. It captures a fleeting glimpse of hope in the midst of despair. As the series evolved, I turned to nature for solace and renewal. Works such as California Spirit center the vibrant California poppy as a symbol of life, while Dive and Whale reflect the peace and angst of living by the Pacific Ocean. Most pieces in Connecting can be hung vertically or horizontally, a quiet nod to human adaptability and resilience.

What began as an experiment with resin turned into a constellation of glowing, star-dusted paintings. By sealing crystals and glow-in-the-dark pigments into layered resin, I built luminous surfaces where stars, nebulae, and cosmic rivers seem to drift across the canvas. Glitter and unexpected textures add a playful sparkle, inviting you to pause, explore, and discover new details each time, just like finding a new star in a familiar night sky.

In this intimate two-piece series, Katerina Huezo transforms feeling into form through fluid female silhouettes. Dreaming and Contemplating capture two quiet states of being — eyes closed, bodies flowing — painted in acrylic and metallic pigments that shift subtly with the light. These works act like mirrors for the viewer’s inner world, embodying the stillness and vulnerability of human emotion.

Flow emerged from my urge to experiment with light, paper, and movement. Using watercolors and ink on paper, I let pigment stream and bleed, then traced feminine silhouettes within the shifting forms. Each piece feels like a captured motion, soft, fluid, and spontaneous: a study of how the body and spirit can flow with change.

Rays was born on evening walks along San Francisco’s waterfront, when I noticed how neon beams illuminated the Ferry Building and the sails at the bay, drawing out hidden architectural lines. I translated that vision into sunset-colored backdrops crossed by crisp white rays, light made visible on canvas. Inspired by Art Deco’s stylized caryatids, I set feminine silhouettes into the graphic backgrounds, creating a striking triptych. The series first showed at Burning Man and later at San Francisco’s 111 Minna Gallery, and led to a commission for the poetry book M.

The Caryatids Triptych grew out of the Rays series, where I combined Art Deco–inspired feminine forms with bold, architectural backgrounds. First shown at Burning Man and later exhibited in San Francisco, the triptych became one of my most recognized works. Its striking silhouettes caught the eye of a visiting poet, who commissioned me to paint himself and his muse in the same style, a portrait that became the cover of his poetry book M.

While exhibiting Rays in San Francisco, I met a visiting poet who fell in love with my stylized caryatids. He commissioned a portrait of himself and his muse in the same style for his upcoming book of poetry. That painting became the cover of M, a collaboration born of art, love, and heartbreak.
