More images coming in this series… This body of work explores the quiet sentinels of the wild—the birds, animals, and unseen witnesses that populate our shared landscapes. Each painting captures not just a likeness, but a presence: a heron standing in stillness, a fox in twilight, a raven watching from a darkened branch. These creatures are not merely subjects; they are emissaries, guardians, and observers of a world in flux.
Rendered in earthy palettes and gestural textures, the series blends naturalistic detail with painterly abstraction, allowing myth, memory, and ecology to coexist on the canvas. As our relationship to the natural world grows ever more fractured, these portraits offer a form of reverence—and a call to listen more closely.
Title: Kingfisher and Monarch II
Caption:
Set against a glowing veil of golden leaf and shadowed sky, the kingfisher watches over the monarch. Together they hold the edge of transformation—wings poised, colors echoing, breath held in that eternal pause between flight and stillness.
Title: Autumn Heron
Caption:
Among bark and seed, oak leaf and pine, the heron stands—watchful and timeless. A figure of patience in a forest turning gold, as if holding court over the small, sacred gatherings of the season.

Entanglegraph Series (2025)
Entanglegraph is a term I’ve coined to describe a hybrid process that merges drawing, painting, collage, and digital reflection into a single, layered visual field. These works are not illustrations or digital collages, but visual records of entanglement—where natural forms, memory, gesture, and mark-making intersect. Each Entanglegraph is built through an intuitive process of scanning, layering, rearranging, and reworking, allowing physical and digital elements to blur into one atmospheric composition. The result is a kind of visual tapestry—part archive, part improvisation—that captures the complexity of being tethered to both landscape and interior life.
All limited edition prints of my work are produced in collaboration with WhiteWall, a professional art printer known for exceptional museum-quality standards.
