Occupied Ground
Arashiyama
- 36 x 30 in
A layered field of color and line where forms emerge and dissolve within an open spatial structure. Linear elements move across the surface, suggesting pathways and divisions without resolving into a fixed image. Shifts in tone and density create a fluid, atmospheric field, where fragments of place remain present but unstable. The composition holds between structure and dispersal, allowing the image to stay open and continuously in flux. Acrylic and china pen on cradled board.

Red Car
- 36 x 30 in
This acrylic painting on cradled board captures the quiet intersection of nature and forgotten human traces. An abandoned red car, hidden in an overgrown canyon, serves as a focal point—both out of place and strangely at home as it’s slowly reclaimed by the landscape. The composition balances deep greens and earthy tones with the striking red of the car, creating a contrast that draws the viewer into the tension between the human-made and the natural world. Loose brushwork, layered textures, and abstracted forms reflect the way memories of places blend familiarity with mystery. This work explores themes of impermanence, history, and the quiet beauty of forgotten spaces. It was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Teravarna 7th Color Juried Art Contest.

Occupied Ground
- 20 x 24 in
Derived from a remembered site, the painting is organized as a dense field of repeated forms that suggest presence without becoming descriptive. Layered color establishes a continuous ground, while shifts in mark and density create a subtle internal structure. The space holds both landscape and accumulation, without fixing either. Acrylic on cradled board . Recognition: selected for the 62nd Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition at the Haggin Museum.
