We are in a strange place in our relationship with nature: surrounded by beauty and resilience, yet aware of the profound instability our presence has introduced. I want to create work where familiar elements appear but within a landscape that feels unfamiliar. The images suggest a recognizable natural world, but one that is altered. Cellular shapes expand, patterns repeat and mutate, and organic structures drift into the strange. 

Monarch butterflies  and bees appear throughout the work as quiet witnesses to endurance and adaptation. Their persistence stands in contrast to the fragility of the systems that support them.  This work inhabits that tension.This  work aims to create a space where the familiar and the strange coexist: a meditation on resilience, uncertainty, and our shifting place within the living world. Materially, the paintings combine mixed media and acrylic on canvas or panel in a richly dense surface with a  floating acrylic layer.
