From the forests that surround us to the mycelium beneath our feet, nature’s wonders are woven into our world—leaves, needles, branches, fruit and more. This exhibition explores the beauty, mystery, and pleasure of nature in all its forms. Whether delicate or untamed, fleeting or enduring, organic life inspires and connects us.

Come see three of my figurative oil paintings: two from by "Buds" series and featuring the debut of "Resonations." 

 

“Resonations” explores the emotional and spiritual terrain of our deep connection with the natural world. Inspired by my work in climate community-building, this painting invites a quiet inward journey where difficult emotions can be felt—not avoided—where we can rediscover a sense of rooted belonging. Merging the human form with elemental landscapes, I reflect our biological and spiritual interdependence with nature and each other. Through vibrant color, energetic brushwork, and the female form, my figurative oil paintings evoke the pulse of life shared across time. “Resonations” honors that shared vitality and asks what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to truly feel it. 

Resonations, oil on canvas, 40 x 30 inches, 2023.

So proud to be selected as the People's Choice Award recipient! Thank you to all who voted.

It’s an honor to be nominated for the Human Impacts Institute's 2025 Creative Climate Awards (CCA)! Feeling a little giddy, to be precise! What a thrill to experience the work—the voices—of diverse artists from around the world coming together to envision Inspiring Futures in the face of our climate crisis, the most urgent challenge of our time.

I'm proud to feature my work The Mothers in Me Will Meet You There [INQUIRE ABOUT PAINTING]. Born from our mothers, we embody a life force that connects us across generations. As we’ve inherited the world, we also shape it for those yet to come. While painting The Mothers in Me Will Meet You There, I was reflecting on the question: “How do we love across time?” My figures glow from within, their interwoven forms dissolving barriers between past and present, and rippling into potential future.
