In my paintings, nature is a mirror to the human experience. My work excavates tree and nature forms into psychological portraits of our most honest human  states of vulnerability, resilience, and  interconnectivity.

Brushwork is a rhythmic dance between abstraction and lucidity. The monumental scale acknowledges the grandeur of these ancient beings, while the raw canvas and edges speaks to their, and our, vulnerabilities.Each piece is a quiet rebellion against modern noise, returning to slowness and tactile wonder of my own humanity. The work invites viewers to recognize within themselves the same power, resounding tenderness, and magnificent interconnected nature of human existence… and to wholly embrace what is already holy in each of us.
