San Juan Islands

18X24 oil on hand tie dyed canvas  

A tangled mass of driftwood sprawls across a surreal, vibrant pink shoreline, its weathered forms carefully painted over the swirling, unpredictable hues of a hand-dyed canvas. The tie-dye’s fluid patterns seep through, distorting the edges of water and sky, as if the landscape itself is shifting, caught between reality and dream. The bold pinks pulse with unnatural energy, clashing with the skeletal remains of the driftwood—fragments of something lost, carried by unseen tides. The contrast between control and chaos, vivid life and quiet ruin, creates a scene both mesmerizing and unsettling, a beachscape that exists beyond time.

This collection explores the tension between chaos and control, spontaneity and structure. In my practice, I merge the unpredictable, free-flowing nature of tie-dye with the deliberate, methodical techniques of landscape painting. The fusion of these seemingly opposing approaches allows me to engage in a dialogue between the organic and the intentional—between nature’s wild, unrestrained beauty and the human impulse to frame and define it.
