A common theme in my artwork is nature's resilience and grit as it navigates the unyielding structures of the city. Urban weeds and vines, seemingly insignificant, co-opt concrete, brick, and metal as support systems and climbing structures. I find beauty in these unexpected encounters, where nature gracefully adapts to the urban setting.
Using the clean line aesthetic of the built world, recent work explores nature in city.

Nature and urban environments, often perceived as dichotomous, can be harmoniously intertwined. There is a quiet strength in nature's ability to persist and thrive amidst the hard urban environment, and I strive to celebrate this beauty.
