Original artwork description:

“Emerald Drift” is a meditation on movement and transition, inspired by the rhythms of nature and the passage of time. Through vertical streams of rich greens, earthy golds, deep blues, and luminous whites, this painting creates a visual experience that merges landscape with abstraction, evoking the sensation of rain, foliage, and shifting light.
Natural Flow
The cascading, textured lines reference both the descent of water and the growth of wild grass, drawing from the untamed beauty of forests and fields. The layering of hues—emerald, ochre, sapphire, and cloud white—suggests continual renewal, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the painting’s gentle flow and subtle gradations.
Materiality and Process
Working with a palette knife and thick acrylic mediums, each vertical mark is built up over time, producing a tactile surface that calls attention to the act of painting itself. The repetition of these gestures mimics meditative breathing or the sound of wind moving through leaves, harnessing abstraction as a language of sensation and memory.
Resonance and Reflection
“Emerald Drift” seeks to elicit a sense of grounding and tranquility, while also reflecting on the transitory nature of landscapes—how they shift, erode, and evolve. The interplay of structured pattern and organic variation captures the coexistence of order and spontaneity within the natural world, encouraging pausing, contemplation, and immersion in color and texture.
The work is both an invitation and a record: to drift with the mind’s eye through imagined fields and forests, and to find presence within the momentum of paint, mark by mark.
