My paintings explore nature, memory, and the feeling of place. Working primarily in watercolor, I follow the movement of water and pigment, building layers of color, texture, and intuitive marks. Seeds, roots, pathways, and shifting landscapes become ways to explore connection, healing, and cycles of change. Each painting unfolds through a slow, experimental process, shaped by both close observation and the landscapes I carry within me.
