oil on canvas
$400
Artist Statement:
My paintings explore the unseen connections between nature, mythology, and the subconscious mind. Through the use of color, layered texture, and atmospheric depth I construct spaces where forms are hidden and revealed. I try not to have rigid preconceptions before I touch the canvas, allowing the imagery to surface organically. The resulting works present landscapes and dreamscapes which prompt the viewer to navigate quiet depths of memory and imagination.
