Immersion in wild, remote places profoundly influences my art, heightening my sensitivity to humanity's place within the ancient, slow-moving strata of the Earth.

Geology feels like a portal to belonging—a metaphor for solidity and permanence, countering feelings of displacement. Erosion, in turn, serves as a metaphor for the discarding of old attitudes and beliefs.

My process involves playful experimentation with materials, allowing mediums to settle into textured surfaces that evoke topographical and subterranean landscapes. Natural processes, like pooling and evaporating paint, mimic some of Earth's dynamic forces.

My work reflects the beauty and mystery of these forces. Through my practice, I seek to deepen my awareness and wonder while inviting viewers to embark on their own visual journeys.

These works below evolved from my experience of time spent at a residency at Skaftfell, Seydisfjordur, Iceland. The patterns on the dramatic slopes surrounding the small town are the result of ice melting and thawing repeatedly over millions of years.
