On view through July 31, 2025
The Monmouth Museum

Deep in the understory of the forest, there is a world of life filled with shadows that curl around tree trunks and disappear into the darkness. Every once in a while, sunlight finds its way through all the overlapping branches and leaves. The light that reaches the forest floor feels lighter when held up to all this darkness, almost like it’s glowing.
“The series of paintings in “The Understory” are my attempt to capture this powerful relationship between light and dark.”
