Artist Statement
The Other Shore emerged from a place of gesture and intuition—an attempt to hold the mood of a landscape rather than its details. I layered pigmented gesso and encaustic paints to build a textured surface that carries weight and atmosphere, allowing land, water, and sky to slip in and out of focus.
Though abstracted, this place carries the feeling of a northern shoreline—windswept and weathered, where rock meets open water and familiar paths give way to something less certain. The other shore beckons, just out of reach.
