Paintings
A question I asked myself regularly while creating this work is can we still see the power that nature has over everything, and the beauty within that power, after we spend so much time trying to control it; our gardens, our lawns, the landscape. The patterns in my paintings are manipulations of their natural order and are my own way of depicting the subjects’ beauty. The hope is that my work will cultivate a sense of respect and awe for nature’s abilities and in turn change the way people interact with it.
