My art is a study of nature’s quiet intricacies, that distill fleeting moments into patterns carved from memory and light.
This art practice was born from long walks along the western Floridian coast, where I found myself drawn to the delicate architectures of the natural world. The fine veins of a leaf, the rhythmic grooves of a plant’s stem, the bold yet fragile rings of an oak’s stump, the precise geometry of a budding flower, and the fluid motion of ocean waves—each of these forms tells a story of growth, resilience, and impermanence.
I sought to capture their essence, not through replication, but through transformation—translating organic structures into compositions of thousands of intricate cuts on paper. Every incision is a meditation, a moment of stillness woven into a larger symphony of form and shadow.
My background in textile design instilled in me the patience and precision required for such meticulous work, but this process extends beyond craftsmanship—it is an act of devotion. With every cut, I explore the tension between permanence and ephemerality, complexity and simplicity, chaos and order.
These fragile compositions ask the viewer to look deeper—to find movement within stillness, to see wholeness in fragmentation. In capturing nature’s fleeting beauty, these pieces of paper ultimately reflect on time itself: the quiet transformations that shape our world and the inevitable passage toward decay and renewal.
