Abstract
Our relationship with the natural world--as it relates to our production of food--is complex. Drawing inspiration from principles of regenerative agriculture, my paintings explore the dynamics and perceptions surrounding food, health, and a sustainable future. I deliberately use idealized images--some of which comes from corporate marketing campaigns--to examine the tension between what is real and what is fake.
