This collection is an invitation to dive into the depths of our individual universe, to sit with what we find there, and to honor it.

Each piece in Tender Ground was born from a season of evolving: letting go of resistance, honoring the road that brought me here, and welcoming who I’m becoming, with love, with tenderness, without rushing the process.

Our past isn’t something to outrun. It’s the ground we stand on, tender, imperfect, and entirely ours. These paintings hold that softness: the blur of memory, the quiet work of growth, the beauty of a self still unfolding.

Eleven pieces, numbered as a journey rather than a sequence. I hope you find a piece of your own story somewhere inside them.

With Love...
