My work often explores contrast and contradiction, especially through wildlife and the natural world. I’m drawn to placing animals in unexpected relationships and environments, creating surreal moments that challenge our assumptions about where things belong. A shark beside a deer, for example, becomes more than an image. It invites us to reconsider boundaries, connection, and the fragile balance between worlds.

This piece is also deeply personal. It marks the first time I’ve painted my best friend, my constant companion, and my partner in life, Winston. We shared everything, every day. Losing him has changed me, and creating this work has been a way to hold onto that bond.

Winston forever ❤️
