In this layered, painterly work from the Psychology of Trees series, I transform a natural form into a symbolic figure of resilience and quiet resistance. Through atmospheric depth and the delicate application of gold inspired by the Japanese Maki-e tradition, the piece reflects on memory, fragility, and the enduring presence of nature in an uncertain world. Both contemplative and luminous, the work invites viewers into an emotional landscape where beauty and impermanence coexist.

In this evocative monochrome landscape, I transform a vibrant aloe hillside into a meditative exploration of inner conflict. By stripping away color, the work reveals a deeper psychological tension between perception and emotion, beauty and doubt. The image becomes less a depiction of place and more a reflection of the artist’s internal dialogue, where nature stands as both witness and participant in an unresolved, poetic negotiation.

The image explores how light not only reveals but reshapes reality, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue between presence and impermanence. This work revisits a fleeting morning in Pebble Beach where light transformed a forest into a transient, almost sacred space. Two distant figures emerge as symbolic travelers within a larger meditation on time, memory, and perception. 

This work transforms a single wave into a meditation on memory, hesitation, and emotional suspension. Stripped of context and horizon, the image becomes an interior landscape, an abstracted moment that mirrors the human experience of standing on the edge of change. It invites the viewer to linger in uncertainty, where beauty exists not in resolution, but in anticipation.

A poetic reflection on Lake Estero as a metaphor for memory, ambiguity, and quiet beginnings. This story explores how pinhole photographs mirror inner transitions, inviting viewers to consider new beginnings not as declarations, but as gentle, unresolved moments of becoming.
