As I am picking up each blueberry, I am reminded of the precious beauty around us.

I close my eyes to take it all in. It’s the sweet smell of berries, the melodic sounds of birds, the soft summer breeze that will linger on my mind for months to come.

I feel free. I belong.

nature is -

An Abstract Painting Collection that is created entirely with nature. Each painting uses foraged berries, natural earth pigments and reused food material that has been crafted into artistic ink/paint for capturing nature in its truest essence.

The beauty of these pieces is the material itself. As each handcrafted color of nature moves and meets another, a new moment is created that feels free and organic. As I am letting nature dictate the course of each painting, I am guided to practice patience, embracing quiet moments and intuitively trusting the process.

My deepest hope is you find connection to these abstract paintings. Each piece is named based on answers I received earlier this year when asking “What does Nature mean to you?”. Your words inspired this collection. Thank you and I am forever grateful for a community that cultivates such an appreciation for the natural world. As you are reading the painting titles, I would love for you to imagine what memories come to your mind first and how the painting composition correlates to those warm feelings.

As we connect to nature, we are more connected to ourselves. We are rooted in the place that we belong.

It’s that wild, imperfect beauty that keeps us wanting more.
