Inspiration
I set out on a journey to paint directly from life outdoors after a painting intensive in Montenegro in 2018. I sought to learn and observe closely from nature. This practice has helped me develop a sense of acceptance, ease, and unconditional love within myself to ride with changes. Many of these works are a contemplation on the theme of simplicity. I explore light and shadow via bodies of water, buildings, and vast expanse.
