I make paintings and works on paper that explore our relationship to the natural world. For me, art is a way to make the unseen worlds seen.

My paintings and works on paper bring together natural imagery and the language of abstraction in otherworldly landscapes that probe environmental issues and explore the relationship between interior worlds and outer experiences. The resulting images of flowers and plants have a preternatural presence, neither entirely real nor entirely imagined, they bridge observation and dream.
Where do you find inspiration?Moving to New York's Hudson River Valley transformed my practice. Nature begins outside my studio door and profoundly influences my work. I enjoy meditative walks in the woods, close observation of natural phenomena, the changing seasons, and a starlit sky free of urban skyglow. Now, images inspired by the vegetal world are my focus.
What would you do with $25,000?This award would provide the precious gift of time to fully focus on my art practice.
