Nature as Metaphor uses landscapes and natural elements as mirrors for our inner lives. Each painting is both a place and a state of mind, inviting contemplation of our relationship with the world around us and the emotions it evokes.
On the Rocks (2019)
A young woman sits on a rocky outcrop by the ocean, her posture relaxed and joyful. Sunglasses shield her eyes from the sun, and her sun-kissed skin speaks to the warmth of the day. The vibrant blues of the sky and sea contrast with the earthy tones of the rocks, while wispy clouds and gentle waves add a sense of movement and openness.
Tall, Tan, Lovely (2025)
In “Tall, tan, lovely,” the human form becomes a living metaphor for resilience and harmony with nature. The figure stands alone in a sun-washed landscape, her elongated posture and golden skin echoing the upright grace of a tree or dune. The boundaries between body and earth are gently blurred, inviting viewers to reflect on the ways we are shaped by—and connected to—the places we inhabit. This painting is both a celebration of individuality and a meditation on our place within the natural world.
