In the artist’s words
“Layers hold what memory cannot name.”
The paintings in this series depict the search for direction, orientation, destination, meaning, clarity and connection.
If you are new here, begin with Wayfinding, then move through Beyond the Surface and In Search of Solace.
Selected works
Three paintings from the studio—an invitation to look closely before you choose a doorway. Each piece holds a pause in the larger search: color, mark, and the quiet that lives between layers.
