Artist Statement:

My work is inspired by the seasonal rhythms of the Pacific Northwest and the ways those changes show up in everyday life. The equinox represents a point of balance in the year, when light and darkness are equal and the shift toward spring becomes visible in the landscape.

In my paintings, I’m interested in the relationship between the natural world and the spaces we inhabit daily. Plants, light, and simple objects often appear as quiet markers of seasonal change and personal ritual.

These works reflect the sense of renewal that comes with spring and the small ways we notice and participate in that transition. Through observation and color, I aim to create paintings that encourage viewers to slow down and recognize the presence of seasonal change in their own lives.
