This body of work is shaped by blossoming. By the simple, yet every day act of growth - all things tiny and big, all things beautiful and painful. Each painting is drawn from recent and real experiences in my life where I have experienced and witnessed change, failure, beauty, discomfort and even pain. What I believe to be, the fundamentals of true growth.

​

Though the pieces of nature are varied and not entirely connected through the same locations, they are tied together by the experience of seasons. By the way I have experienced healing and growth through myself and nature.

​

Being in nature shows us how deeply connected we trulv are - turning outwardly during certain phases, inwards for others, following the light (joy), choosing to stay strong in the storms and release in the safety of the warm sun.

​

Patterns, shapes, connection, syncrosities and the way we mimic nature in human form is what draws me in.

​

My paintings are not realistic documentations, they are drawn blind contour (without looking at the canvas). Rather, they are a way to stay present to my subject. Painting becomes a meditation. An experience. A form of healing.

​

By bringing these pieces of nature together to paint, All Things Bloom explores the connection between growth and our perception of it. Between experience and presence.
