I’m a contemporary painter based in Atlanta, working in acrylics on canvas to create silhouettes and patterns of the botanical world. My paintings hold the botanical world at the precise moment before it disappears. The work navigates environmental fragility and memory through smooth brushwork and deliberate color theory. At the heart of my work is a belief that as natural environments disappear, collectively we need to consider the cultural traditions and healing practices lost when our connection to the land is severed.
