Havens
Project Statement
Havens explores the interconnected themes of nature and childhood, focusing on the positive, joyful experiences that shape early memories, such as traveling with family. Through a series of 5 acrylic paintings, ranging from 16” x 20” and 18” x 24", the paintings capture outdoor scenes that reflect the essence of various vacation destinations. The work includes visual inspiration drawn from my own photographs, with a combination of both environmental portraits and landscapes. The paintings will create a seamless interplay between memory and reality. This method evokes a sense of realism that invites the viewer into a vivid recollection of these moments.
