Paintings of invented landscapes in a post-apocalyptic world where life reclaims its dominion in technicolor. Sculptures of "Specimens"collected from a post-human Earth. The exuberant vitality of this new world is joyful, springing with vibrant new plant forms, cheerful in palette and almost sexual in shape.
The ever consistent theme throughout the work is capturing the tension between beauty and destruction, creation and demise. Inviting us to question our role in the grand scheme of existence, beckoning us to imagine the boundless potential of life unencumbered. These works offer a glimpse into a fantastical realm where post-apocalyptic gloom is transformed into a sensual explosion of colors, reminding us that even in the face of cataclysm, nature will endure, adapt, and ultimately thrive.
