I create visual representations of botanicals and landscapes, to deepen my understanding of the natural world. Connecting the eye to one’s hand when rendering a subject from observation, profoundly magnifies the experience of presence and discovery. The diversity of structures, colors and textures ever influenced by light and atmosphere serve as an endless source of inspiration and opportunity for me. I am currently working primarily in oil pastels using layering, blending and scratching techniques to achieve desired effects. Videos of my process can be found on my From Garden to Studio instagram and tiktok profiles.
