Pathways Landscape Painting, Beeswax and Yarn on Wood, Framed, 2010+

2025

The experience of nature and daily life feed my work. The materials I use are from the natural world: beeswax and cotton thread. The threads are untwined and dyed with things I consume like spices, foods, coffee, wine, etc. This process creates an intimacy with my material.
