SPRING

There are parts of life we try to control, and parts we simply have to let happen.

For a long time, I found myself moving between the two, holding on when I was afraid to let go, and letting go when I realized that control was never really mine to begin with.

This collection grew from that tension.

For each painting, I used snow to create the background. I placed the pigments onto the raw canvas and then let the melting snow take over. The colors moved, blended and settled in ways I could never fully predict. I had to watch, wait and accept that some things were simply beyond my control.

Only afterwards did I step back in. I painted each flower by hand, carefully bringing intention and structure into something that had begun with complete uncertainty.

The three paintings became a reflection of a journey I believe we all experience in our own way – awakening, blooming, and eventually unfolding into ourselves.
