About Seasonal Shifts: Autumn feels bittersweet because we are heading into the shortest days of the year. It’s a reminder of the constant shifts happening externally in our surroundings and internally in our bodies and mind. For me, it emphasizes how important it is to embrace the present moment so as to catch it before it’s gone.
About the Vast Views Collection: Looking out over a landscape has always stirred up a well of emotions and possibility. As a child I would walk to the highest elevation on my parent's property and climb a large tree that had a limb hanging over the fence row, overlooking the valley. I would walk out to the edge of the tree limb and sit there absorbing the landscape. It felt vast and full of possibilities. I still remember the excitement it stirred in my core and that same feeling happens to me today. This year I’m focusing on that feeling and bringing more of that possibility and emotion to my view. My hope is that it also stirs those emotions in my collectors.
