✨𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆✨
“After years of more rigid art making and skill building, this collection became all about following ideas without knowing exactly where they’d end up. Most of these paintings began with something small; a gesture, a color, a texture, and grew through layers of paint, oil pastels, and charcoal experimentation. The fun has been in the process of discovery.

This collection is ultimately about delighting in the unexpected. Nature reminds us that nothing exists in isolation, and these paintings celebrate those moments of connection. Through expressive, slightly strange figures and playful compositions, I hoped to capture some of the joy, curiosity, and beautiful weirdness of being alive.

Confluence is an invitation to slow down, notice the strange and beautiful threads that connect us, and enjoy the ways our stories, environments, and lives converge.”
