There are moments when the ground shifts — in landscape, in a life — and what comes after is never quite the shape it was before.

Power & Resilience is a body of work made in response to that experience. Built through erosion and reconstruction, each painting is a layered surface of oil, cold wax, and oxidized metal leaf — materials that carry damage visibly, that scar and rebalance, that hold light differently after being altered.

The work is rooted in geological movement: tectonic pressure, fault lines, the force of water against stone. But the terrain is also interior — the difficult seasons we move through, the fractures that turn out to be the places where something new takes form.

Some pieces are purely abstract. Others hold a quiet human presence — a figure rising, sheltering, standing still inside the motion. All of them are interested in the same moment: where disruption becomes the condition for transformation.

Power & Resilience is currently available for gallery and exhibition consideration. Studio visits, curatorial inquiries, and collector conversations welcome.
