My work explores themes of resilience and individuality, often through the lens of nature's powerful forces.
 
This piece, titled "Windswept," is a portrait of a twisted Monterey Cypress and serves as a self portait by proxy.
 
This tree, sculpted by relentless coastal winds, embodies the spirit of standing alone and finding profound peace in its unique form. It represents the beauty and strength found in embracing one's own distinct path, even when that path deviates from the expected.
 
The cypress, weathered and enduring, serves as a reminder that true strength lies not in conformity, but in the unwavering acceptance and celebration of self.
 
Through this work, I invite viewers to contemplate the beauty of individuality and the quiet power of inner peace, even amidst the storms of life.
