My work couples the struggles of modern day life with our deep detachment from the natural world. Our relationship to Earth is fragmented, and our hearts ache for her. As a child, I explored the woods and beach behind my home daily, embracing the divine connection to the universe, my humanity, and to the spirituality that was found there - in communion with the plants and animals. Now, I crave the stillness of nature and the night sky, to silence the overwhelming quality of life. Through my art, I aim to convey a celebration of all things in the universe, contrasted with the challenges of current existence, femininity, motherhood, and mental wellness.
