In a world of fast-paced responsibilities and expectations, art is my refuge of safety, rejuvenation and self expression. Painting slows the world down to the speed of my imagination. Each winter I live in Cauca, Colombia foraging volcanic soils by hand and processing them into paint. I unearth each color from cliff sides, highways, construction sites and riverbeds, and use them to tell stories of land and humanity on canvas. Each piece is an earthen container for the parts of us that need love, safety and rest.
