Untethered

Oil, oil stick, and watercolor on canvas, 20 x 24 in

Untethered is an abstract landscape shaped by curiosity—an exploration led more by instinct than intention. The piece unfolded through a series of small decisions, each one responding to the last, allowing the composition to evolve naturally rather than follow a fixed path.

Layers of maroon, pink, and orange create a terrain that feels warm, radiant, and quietly playful. There's a sense of discovery within the movement—like something being felt out in real time rather than fully known from the start.

While much of my work settles into a more grounded stillness, this piece carries a lighter energy. It reflects the experience of following a thought or feeling simply to see where it leads—trusting curiosity as a guide, and allowing the work to become something unexpected, but true.
