ABOUT
Kelp Jungle is a painting born from surrendering to intuition and breaking the rules of traditional oil painting. The layers contain drips of walnut oil, with thicker brushstrokes built on top — a departure from the planned and certain into the loose and intuitive. Throughout the process, I was guided by the vision that began it all: a dream where I was deep in the jungle, alone, facing my darkest shadows, with glimmers of color flying past me.
