In the consuming heat of Arkansas summers, where do we meet and who do we hold onto? When the bugs swarm and the air is heavy; empty like a cicada shell, I blissfully surrender to the bloodless afternoons. My work explores the intersection of human connection and landscape, where figures intertwine like climbing vines against the backdrop of the river. Through my paintings, I investigate how we find intimacy and solidarity within the complex social and environmental fabric of the American South.
