Rooted & Remembered
These are single subjects of the natural world, and the cycles we all are a part of. They are connections to quiet reflection on grief and growth, pain and perseverance.
Here, nature is a witness to itself. The subjects are painted with the textures and colors of thoughts and memories. They are meditations on what grounds me.
Sentinel
A solitary stump stands bare and broken yet dignified in its stillness- a sentinel of time and resilience.
With its weathered bark and reaching limbs, it echoes quiet strength, rooted deeply even when everything above has been torn away.
Stark and spacious, the background leaves room to breathe and reflect.

rebirth from ruin
This piece captures the delicate balance between loss and renewal, where remnants of the past become the fertile ground for something new.
A weathered stump, bearing the scars of time and change, cradles vibrant new growth. Proof that life persists even after endings.
The emerging shoots symbolize hope, resilience, and the beauty of transformation, reminding us that even when the old fades away, new stories take root.
