​​There is a time to look outward at the world and a time to turn that gaze inward. This series of encaustic mixed-media paintings embodies the latter.

After a long period of seeking wisdom from my external environment through nature, I have shifted my focus inward. Through exploring new practices of meditation, self-compassion, presence, and gratitude, I create art that captures layers of consciousness and thought, intertwined with ethereal swirls inspired by my enduring relationship with the natural world.
