Whenever I feel the need to realign and reconnect with myself, I head straight to the forest. There is something very humbling and primal about moving and breathing among the trees. In this serene environment, time slows down, to-do lists dissipate, and I am reminded of my true nature — simply being. I love to gift my senses the beauty of the trees, the smell of fresh air, the feeling of soft moss and a racing heart, and the sound of peace and chirping birds. I believe our deepest connection with our true selves occurs through interactions with the natural world, and for me- the forest is the ultimate destination for this experience.
 
From the PORTALS collection:
 
In this collection of paintings, I delve into the profound relationship between the natural world and the human experience, using the theme of "Nature as a Portal" as a conceptual framework. My artistic journey takes me on a quest to capture nature's transformative power, its ability to transport us to a realm beyond the ordinary, and to evoke emotions and sensations that resonate deep within our souls.
 
In a world often filled with distractions and disconnection from the natural world, my paintings serve as a reminder of the beauty, awe, and balance that nature can provide. They invite us to slow down and to reconnect with the elemental forces that surround us, reminding us that through nature- we can find solace, inspiration, and a gateway to our true selves.

Most local framing companies can build stretcher bars, and stretch the painting for you. I'm more than happy to help locate a framing shop and answer any questions during this process.
