Journey through landscapes

Earth Tones

I am a landscape artist and photographer whose work explores the relationship between land, light, and presence. Through painting and photography, I am drawn to fleeting moments—those brief instances when light transforms a place and something ineffable is felt. These encounters with landscape have long guided my practice, creating a quiet sense of awe that continues to shape both how I work and how I see.

My Philosophy

My process is rooted in sustained observation and time spent outdoors. It is through these attentive encounters with the natural world that I feel most present, and most aware of my place within it. Landscape, for me, is not simply a subject to be depicted, but a lived experience—one that asks for patience, openness, and care.

Nature

Presence

Nature is central to my life and creative practice. I believe our ability to truly connect with and care for the natural world is closely linked to our capacity to attend to our inner landscapes. When we slow down and learn to look more deeply, we begin to recognize that caring for ourselves and caring for the land are not separate acts, but part of the same ongoing relationship.

From this foundation, I have developed Mindful Creativity Workshops as a natural extension of my personal practices. These workshops invite participants to slow their pace, cultivate attention, and reconnect with a sense of curiosity and awe towards their own inner landscape through mindfulness and creativity.
