About the Artwork:
“This series of paintings is inspired by dance movement—you can really feel it. When I look at Isabela I get a little bit of an oceanic feel and vibe. My work treads between looking towards nature and really just being in the moment and seeing what arises, so nothing’s planned. I’m not looking at physical objects, like rocks or rivers or oceans, but somehow, with each moment, and in each painting, a different feeling and connection to nature and to my own physical being emerges.”
