Wetlands #1 explores the subtle threshold where land and water meet—a place of transition, reflection, and quiet renewal. To me, the wetlands are living boundaries: constantly shifting, absorbing, and releasing light and form. They are fragile yet enduring, humble yet profound.
Working with oil and wax on canvas, I build layers that hold both translucency and density—echoes of silted water, reeds, and reflected sky.
The wax allows the surface to breathe, as if moisture and air are caught within it. Through a process of scraping and re-layering, I capture the 'still movement' of these spaces: the shimmer of light on shallow pools and the dense quiet of the reeds. This work is a meditation on balance—how water sustains, how light transforms, and how the overlooked edges of the landscape carry a deep, enduring grace
