The paintings reference specific landscapes, but I work to depict each place somewhere between reality and memory. In the landscapes, white space meets fields of muted color through shattered lines of graphite, suggesting a continuous cycle of transformation &#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>&#8230; My background in permaculture and a lineage of Eastern European foresters first drove me to explore humanity\u2019s relationship with the natural world through my art practice. More recently, I have expanded on these ideas, reacting to anthropocentrism and a sense of uprootedness, both personal and intergenerational, by studying Earth-based traditions. As I reflect upon stories from the spirits of the land, my own memory, and those of my ancestors, I ask questions about how we relate to place through the lenses of wildness, stewardship, civilization, and change.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Beautiful.
