Summer 2025, inspired by a late afternoon hike through an untouched coastal meadow where light and shadow sculpted the wild grasses and blossoms into high-contrast forms.

The goal was to render thetexture of the field in a static, timeless way. The technique involves building the foundation with a thick, smooth application of white impasto, then carving the botanical shapes directly into the wet medium using a custom set of fine palette knives and dental tools.

This method allows the stalks and leaves to stand in stark, three-dimensional relief.

The two panels, the 'Right Meadow' and the 'Left Meadow,' were designed to be hung side-by-side, creating an expansive, continuous field of textural growth that captures the quiet, dense vitality of nature.
