This painting is rooted in personal landscapes, drawn from Japan’s sea-carved cliffs and the quiet, inland waters of Lake Erie, and shaped by memory as much as place. It imagines a mythic shoreline where land, sky, and water converge, and where a solitary heron stands as a quiet spirit or sentinel at the edge of transformation.
Water is the painting’s true force: it flows across the image not only as subject, but as medium and metaphor. It reflects and distorts, reveals and conceals. Subtle, abstracted forms emerge only as the viewer draws closer, like thoughts or symbols drifting to the surface. These marks, barely visible from a distance, suggest that what lies beneath surface is just as alive as what floats above it.
Created through fluid, high-risk watercolor techniques that demand both surrender and control, Spirit at the Confluence invites reflection. It offers a space where the seen and unseen meet, and where each viewer might find echoes of their own quiet, in-between places.

I explore the intersection of memory, identity, and psychological narratives, using nature's unpredictability as a foundation. By balancing chaos and form, I craft abstract, atmospheric compositions that challenge familiar perceptions and invite viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of self and reality.
"Art is the language where memory, identity, and chaos converge, where every shape and brush stroke redefines the boundaries of perception and invites us to question the fabric of our evolving reality."
