My work is rooted in the delicate intersections of life, death, and regeneration—timeless themes I’ve found myself returning to after the profound losses of my loved ones. As I navigate grief, nature has become my refuge, providing me with a visual language to make sense of both absence and renewal. Through symbols like stars, birds, and animals, I explore the cyclical nature of existence, drawing connections between the personal and the universal.

Having started my journey with charcoal and graphite, I now work in tandum with paint, a medium that feels less harsh and more welcoming in its ability to heal. Each piece is not just a reflection of my grief, but also of my search for transformation—an exploration of how we grow from loss and the ways in which nature continually reminds us of life’s regenerative power.

​

My work is deeply personal, often depicting the animals and landscapes of my memory and imagination, yet it speaks to broader themes of resilience and hope. I’m drawn to the symbolic possibilities in the natural world, where creatures like fawns, horses, and trout reflect the stages of life, freedom, and the longing for new beginnings. The halos formed by birds and stars in my paintings act as a spiritual stand-in for religion, a belief in the cycles of nature as something sacred and eternal.

As I move forward in my practice, my art serves as both a memorial and a path toward renewal, a way to process the complex emotions of loss while seeking out new life—places where I can grow, rebuild, and find peace.
