Original artwork description:

The dryad (tree spirit) —emerges from an abstract, kaleidoscopic landscape of greens, blues, and golden hues. She is both separate from and inseparable with her surroundings — becoming tree, becoming land, becoming sky, inviting a viewer to experience things beyond the ordinary perception of nature.
The painting is initiated by the design of a stained glass panel, suggesting the use of simple geometric forms and large colour areas. Mixing oil paints with wax allows the surface to appear matte and richly textured yet the colour layers seem translucent. The repeating geometric patterns on a large scale canvas welcomes the eye to soar rhythmically over the landscape reaching a meditative state of mind.

Summer Dryad — rooted in myth yet rendered in modern language—evokes themes of transformation, growth, and our deep entwinement with the living world.
