Playing on themes of Sanctuary from 2014, "Sanctuary Sewer" explores a deeply introspective, verdant theme of life thriving under strange and dark circumstances. Inspired by extreme ecosystems of algae, moss, and bacteria living in storm drains and sewer pipes; this scene depicts a tunnel or cavern where storm water and debris have created a substrate on which life continues to thrive. Harkening themes from trash-to-treasure. 🌟

A vibrant display of springtime colors dance amidst a shadowy purple background in this small portrait of wildflowers. Warm winds blow about freely spreading seeds of color and hope in a chaotic, blistery meadow. Here, polygonal shapes pay homage to the geometrical shapes of flowers. UV light reveals a lively atmosphere of pollen and seeds. 🌟

Inspired by temperatures during the winter months in the pacific northwest, 'Icy Water' describes in colorful detail a melody of natural textures associated with the cold half of the year; when sleet falls on dormant patches of moss. In this painting, hexagonal patterns and spatters suggest a theme of perfect, yet fragile symmetry that exists within a snowflake. UV light activates phosphorescent pigments to highlight natural geometry within ice. 🌟

A macabre scene depicts the unfolding of being– a humble bird, undergoing a phoenix-like transformation. Its colorful body is dissolving into vivid smoke and dust that contribute to an ecosystem of impossible color combinations. A vignette of shadow blends dusk and dawn into a tunnel shape. Where does it go? The animus of the bird is reimagined, becoming a part of the sky transcending a dark, heaping foreground. 🌟

This atmospheric scene draws inspiration from the fleeting essence of fairies—minor devas whose radiant presence exists briefly in the minds of nature’s admirers. Ghostly figures emerge from shadowy leaves, swirling mist and dewdrops, while shimmering hues of orange and pink flicker like an otherworldly fire, shifting under the changing changing diurnal light. 🌟

Inspired by dualism in nature, this scene seeks to emote a desert full of colorful flowers after rain-- a soothing bright sun shining amongst the other stars. A syzygy of midnight and daylight fuse whimsically in this magical landscape.

Blotchy red shapes stand on leggy stems as they grow out of the cool, moist earth, resembling poppies growing in spring. Watery pools and drips in the background suggest the impression of a light rain on moist garden soil. Other flowers and moss flourish in the background of this springtime scene.
