60”x48” mixed media collage on canvas. Materials include textiles, paint, paper, and soft pastels.

This piece explores the delicate relationship between nature and our attempts to capture and celebrate it. The ginger jar stands as a manmade object, trying to hold nature’s beauty, but it’s always just a reflection, never quite the real thing.

The real inspiration, the original muse, is right there—beyond the jar, in the landscape that peeks through. It’s a reminder that, no matter how much we try to imitate it, the wild beauty of nature can never truly be captured. It can only be appreciated.

It’s about the tension between what we create and what we admire, and the constant pull to reconnect with the wild beauty that inspired it.
