Weir Farm
Wilton, Connecticut, 2025
While spending time at the Weir Farm Artist Residency in a historic National Park in Connecticut, I returned daily to the wetlands, ponds, meadows, woods and meandering paths drawn by its quiet intensity and continual change. Each visit offered a distinct encounter: barred owls gliding overhead, bullfrogs calling through the dense air, water snakes slipping through the shadows. The landscape revealed itself not as a fixed view, but as a living, layered experience, sensory, temporal, and emotional.
The work I completed emerges from an ongoing exploration of how perception, memory, and place intersect. I am interested in landscapes not as representations, but as sites of relationship, where curiosity, attention, and bodily presence shape what is seen and felt. Forms became abstracted, colors are reimagined, and the physical experience of place is translated into layered surfaces and intuitive mark-making.
