Pantone’s color of the year:

A Whisper of Tranquility and Peace in a Noisy World:

“A billowy white imbued with serenity, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer

encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation.”

I personally love this return to simplicity. I’m all about bringing the ethereal into the modern world. I believe we need more clarity and calmness more than ever, time to reflect and instill what feels most real and authentic to us. When we listen to the quiet spaces in-between, we can move from a place of stillness, certainty and intention.

“The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming, making it harder to hear the voices of our inner selves. A conscious statement of simplification, Cloud Dancer enhances our focus, providing release from the distraction of external influences.”

Blending elements of fashion couture and aquatic performance, my series Lightness of Being evokes a sense of grace and freedom, transforming the ocean into both canvas and collaborator.

Photographed entirely underwater in Maui, the series weaves light and motion together—where sunbeams and sand meet, each gesture aligns the viewer with the ocean’s transformative energy, returning us to a oneness and belonging to the sea.

I’m delighted to share these new works with you that evoke an essence of Cloud Dancer.
