The Calm and The Wild is a meditation on the quiet, persistent desire for transformation that lives beneath the surface of both the natural world and ourselves. This collection unfolds in two parallel parts: the horse and the landscape, each reflecting a different expression of the same inner pull.

The horses in these works embody a tension between restraint and freedom. They are not depicted in motion alone, but in moments of pause—alert, aware, and yearning. Their presence speaks to an instinctive knowing: the body remembers what it means to be unbound, even when restricted.

In contrast, the paintings of nature offer a rhythm of ebb and flow. These landscapes exist in a state of purity, unburdened by longing, yet constantly transforming. They breathe, shift, and release without resistance. Together, the horses and the land form a quiet dialogue between yearning and acceptance, asking where we, as humans, locate ourselves between calm and wild.

Mixed media paintings on canvas. Each piece was created in the search of finding balance in the chaos of life. Each painting embraces the pain of chronic disease, the joys of being in communion with friends and family, the trials of parenthood, and the movement that life has as we search for moments of rest. From the wild moments of summer to the calming of fall Expressions communicates the feeling of life.
