ARTIST STATEMENT
Rooted in the slow rhythms of the natural life cycle, my work features large-scale realist drawings depicting the woodlands and streams of North America. Through fine detail and immersive scale, the drawings invite quiet observation, revealing the invisible labor that sustains the living world. Taken together, they offer a meditation on time, endurance, and the delicate balance within natural systems.
