36×24" oil over acrylic on canvas – gallery-wrapped, ready to hang.
Five young dancers caught in the golden hour after everyone else has gone home. The stage lights are off, the sky is doing all the work, and for one quiet moment the world belongs to them.
My love letter to the dancer I used to be — and to every girl who ever stayed late for one more pirouette.
One only. When it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

Rehearsal at Dusk – Framed Original Oil over Acrylic (One Only)
The Story Behind Rehearsal at Dusk
I hung up my ballet slippers at sixteen.
Thirty-five years later, five young dancers appeared on canvas under a twilight sky.
This painting is the quiet hour after rehearsal ends — when the stage belongs only to the girls who aren’t ready to leave. One more leap. One more turn. One more chance to feel weightless.
