These works explore the idea of “heaven and earth”: the particular connection human beings have with nature that draws them toward something higher. The series began with a blooming magnolia tree in Massachusetts that appeared as a sparkling crystal. That vision led me to study the golden ratio, visible in forests especially in winter when the geometry of branches shows more clearly. The paintings blend this underlying structure with spontaneous, fluid gestures.

I walk and run through landscapes before painting them at a relatively large scale for watercolor (22 × 30 to 35 × 55 inches), using color, composition, and shape to recreate the overwhelming sensation of being in the place. The work carries themes of remembrance, inheritance, transmission, and solace, drawing on a family interest in wilderness that runs from the landscapes of southern France to mountaineering.

Many originals have found private homes and are now available as fine-art prints. Select works were exhibited in Paris in 2024 and in Cambridge and Boston throughout 2026. For availability or inquiries, please contact me.
