How much of a person stays with us when they leave? This painting is a faceless portrait of those strong connections that go beyond the time or space we share. This painting illustrates intimacy beyond proximity, using star-flowers to represent individuals. We always give and keep something, staying connected in ways we can’t see. 

It's A Strange World / I Miss You

As we grow up, the apparent immensity of the world reveals itself to us. Our dreams and desires change as we step into the world. It is as exciting, as it is terrifying.

In this painting I tried to project this feeling of hesitation. The winged man floats rigidly in a restless ocean. Maybe he is waiting for something to happen - or maybe there is something we cannot see restraining him from trying.

Maybe a Dream Can Be Too Big

In a heavily texturized green field stands a single pink horse. It exists as a singular being mirroring the observer - quietly looking back. 

  
This painting is an ode to those moments, where we become particularly aware of ourselves and our surroundings. Something shifts for a moment and in that silence we both feel and understand beyond our senses. An opportunity for those who dare to step back, gather their strength and traverse/trepes into the unknown.
