“Of the” Series

Fall 2026

This painting series “Of the” delves into the interplay between creature and environment, examining how birds embody a profound sense of place and belonging within their native habitats. Contrasting the striking details captured in the birds with gestural strokes evokes the dappling light and untamed spirit of the wild. These birds are not merely occupants of the landscape, but intrinsic extensions of the wilderness. Bound to their surroundings in an enduring relationship of identify, refuge, and home.
