New York Diptych: Right Panel - PRINTS

This large diptych was inspired by the surreal beauty of the floating island off the High Line in New York—an otherworldly place that feels pulled from a dream. That same sense of wonder is what I reach for in my paintings. Time and again, I find myself wanting to part the ferns, step deeper into the foliage, and lose myself completely in the world I'm creating. The world we live in can feel so heavy. But these paintings are a kind of refuge—a doorway into a place where nothing hurts and nothing can touch you. Here, you're wrapped in wild color and tangled beauty. The air is thick and sweet, like music you can breathe. And if you stay long enough, you might remember something good about yourself—something worth carrying back into the real world.
