Moments of vulnerability and resilience are etched into the work, reflecting the miraculous complexity and fragility of the body. The creative process becomes a river—of memory, of love, of grief—navigating the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.

Working with acrylic paint, pastel, graphite, and collaged plant materials, Roadmap bears the journey and marks along the way of our lived experiences.

The journey IS the destination. In a digital age of mapquest we often forget to stop along the way. This mixed media painting explores points of interest, working intuitively- to explore the energy and emotion of the experience. I found myself simultaneously circling back, moving forward, letting each point inform the next.
