“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.” -Leo Tolstoy

I love the springtime when buds are bursting forth. I am also fascinated by autumn when leaves drop to the ground in contorted forms. These seasonal changes remind me of the cycles of nature and the march of time. My artwork captures these moments by focusing on the beauty and complexity of plants. I think of these artworks as Memento Mori – reminders of the fleeting nature of existence. Seed pods, blooming flowers, and broken branches serve as my inspiration. Such objects remind us that the world is fleeting and it should be enjoyed before it passes away.
