Artist Statement: “In the quiet, watchful corners of the valley, the landscape hums with something coming. Untold histories dissolve with hazy futures on the horizon. The earth’s suspended.
I paint to navigate the threshold between memory and observation, to question what I perceive, and to fold time in a circle.”
