I create meditative landscapes that offer a space for the viewer to explore cycles of growth and decay. In these paintings I have romanticized the grotesque, creating spaces that allow the viewer to enter my interpretation of these inevitable cycles, which can be both beautiful and harrowing. Decay is a natural process, and in my work I attempt to create harmony of this cycle. My work deals with a shifting of energy finding light from darkness, control from chaos, and balance from the unbalanced.
