Nature Studies began as a quiet rebellion—painting wildlife without rules or reference sheets. These works blend anatomical accuracy with saturated color and fantasy, bridging Audubon’s structure with Lisa Frank’s spectacle. Birds and butterflies act as emotional stand-ins, both sacred and strange. Each shape is hand-cut, painted, and sealed with glossy resin to heighten texture and presence. The repetition of feathers becomes meditative, even maddening, but always worthwhile. These pieces honor the overlooked and ask what’s allowed to be wild, beautiful, or seen. It’s not about cute animals—it’s reverence wrapped in color and contradiction.
