Early Arrival

Hybrids

I'm drawn to an unconscious imagining of speculative environments where humans and plants have evolved together. Intricate, adaptive, and resilient, the human form, much like a plant, responds to the rhythms of nature: shifting with the seasons, enduring wind, drought, flood, and fire. These worlds explore a return to—and a reimagining of—the ancient, symbiotic connection between flora and fauna.

This curiosity compels me to create a cast of hybrid beings, leading an ongoing journey through narratives filled with humor, surprise, contrast, and unexpected juxtapositions. I find joy in designing new forms and relationships, immersing myself in detailed craft and the sensuality of painterly expression.

It's the decorative elegance of natural shapes, the music of color, and the poetic collision of visual elements that haunt my nights and awaken my mornings.
