My work explores relationships between the human and more-than-human worlds through painting and drawing. I am drawn to elemental forms such as stone, sky, water, and weather, and to the ways they hold time, memory, movement, and forms of knowledge that exceed human experience. Through sustained observation, I work with the particular qualities of each: the geological duration of stone, the spacious luminosity of the sky, the fluid movement of water, and the constantly shifting relationships between light, color, atmosphere, and perception. These subjects are not simply landscapes to be represented, but sites through which I consider presence, interdependence, and the porous boundary between the visible and invisible.
My practice has developed through years of travel, pilgrimage, and engagement with Buddhist philosophy and Himalayan traditions, where the natural world is understood not as separate from human life but as a field of relationships, forces, and intelligences. Painting becomes a form of attention, a way of entering into a sustained relationship with place and allowing an image to emerge through looking, repetition, and encounter. Across these bodies of work, I am interested in how direct observation can become contemplative practice, and how color, gesture, and material can evoke realities that cannot be fully described but can be felt.
