Painted from life on a small island in the Laguna Madre, Island Foliage explores the strength and fragility of plant life adapted to salt, wind, and sun. Through loose, gestural marks and subtle shifts of color, the work conveys resilience and rootedness—an expression of ecological harmony within a challenging environment.

Series: Laguna Madre Series — Inspired by the artist’s experiences as a South Texas native and her residency on a spoil island in the hypersaline lagoon, this collection explores the quiet energy and ecological interconnectedness of the Gulf Coast.
