Light Finds Its Way

A field of marks, layered and searching.
Lines crossing, breaking, returning — like branches, like memory, like the paths we take without knowing why.

Built from moments out in the landscape — tangled growth, coastal air, shifting light — all finding their way into the surface.

There’s movement here, but also resolve.
A way through, always.

184 × 172 cm
Acrylic, spray paint, pastel stick on canvas

Available now.

A Place I Know
180 × 135 cm

Acrylic, oil stick, pastel and pumice on canvas

Green moving through light.
Soft, but firm and alive.

A quiet sense of somewhere familiar.
Open ground. Air. Space.

A piece that settles into a room and holds it.

Available.
