Not For Sale
In my current series, I delve into the concept of nature and how we often overlook our surroundings. I have collected small plants, seeds, and other objects, placing them in broken eggshells to recreate their original settings. These plants were discovered nestled among sticks, similar to their natural environment. To draw attention, I painted the sticks and framed them against a yellow background. My aim is to encourage viewers to observe these found objects and inspire them to notice similar details during their own walks, whether on the ground or near the shore. I hope this piece prompts a closer appreciation of nature.

"Capturing memories in a way that a camera cannot, my paintings invite you to explore the subject; quietly discovering what is really there. Each painting is a story waiting to happen"
