In 2011, my mountains began to morph into more pointy formations. This was a contrast from the softer, eroded landscape of Vermont. I was living in Chicago at this time, really missing Vermont while at the same time daydreaming of new places to explore in the future. I also looked back on hikes in New ...
The mosaic is based on an image I painted a few years back while studying at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. My original painting depicted the imaginary spaces I thought up while reading Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” – one of the most memorable fairy tales from my childhood.

In 2008, I began to explore natural patterns found in rock formations as well as agate stones. My interest in these kind of patterns was sparked following a trip to the Grand Canyon. Seeing the various bands of colors alternating, bending and running through the canyon walls was intriguing. When I returned home, I saw ...
