Canopies

This series reflects the journey of taking risks, stepping out into the unknown, and finding clarity upon returning home.

2018-2019

Canopies reflects the trees that surrounded my childhood. However, it wasn’t until I returned home after my own adventures away that I truly noticed them. They were exactly the same as when I left, and their steadfastness helped me realize how much I had changed. Painting this series became a meditative reflection. I used color, repetition, perspective, scale, experimentation, and spontaneous brushmarks to speak to the possibility, freedom, clarity, and understanding I had gained in returning to these trees.
