My “Garden” series tells stories from a bygone era. It’s inspired by ancient murals that deeply touched me even as a student… their beauty, history, and everything they’ve experienced. The background of these works is built up and removed in countless layers to create a look reminiscent of another era. Like weathered walls that have captured the southern light. Above: blossoms that speak of warm summers. Images like enchanted gardens. Quiet. Multi-layered. Full of traces and signs. For all who love the hidden—and what remains.
