I love taking hikes and seeing the expansive landscape this time of year. The energy of spring in nature inspired the title of this new painting.

Lately, I’ve been immersing myself in both natural and urban landscapes, not trying to define them but simply letting them move me. I listen, absorb, and then return to the studio to interpret my experience—attempting to capture a feeling and bring it back onto the canvas.

This piece reflects the fresh energy of spring, with splashes and prisms of blue and green that blend into light. Layers of overlapping color and movement invite you to step into the scene, just as I did on my hikes. My creative process is all about staying loose, playing, and experimenting in the early layers, then building upon them as the painting evolves. This approach keeps me unattached to the outcome, allowing room for imperfections and happy accidents.

When I focus on having fun and enjoying the process, I keep coming back to the work—and you never know where it might lead.
