Layers of 

Nature

Artist

Artist Statement

My artwork is an exploration of nature’s resilience, the quiet strength of wildlife, and the enduring marks of time. Through symbolic imagery and organic forms, I create layered mixed media works using reclaimed materials, natural elements, and paint. The process reflects nature itself — layers are built, weathered, and worn away, revealing unexpected beauty beneath the surface. Like erosion shaping the earth, my work uncovers hidden stories, reminding us that even through loss or change, something wild and beautiful always emerges. It is this unfolding discovery that keeps me creating.
