Trees tell our stories as surely as they tell their own. Through every season, storm, and passage of time, they remain steadfast until their fate is determined by us. They are the sentinels of the pasture, nature's architecture, and quiet witnesses to the lives unfolding around them. This body of work is a homage to their beauty and resilience.

Each piece in the Dendrophiles collection is created using layers of mixed media on canvas, incorporating rice paper, tissue, decorative papers, newspaper, acrylic paint, ink, and gold accents. The surfaces are enriched with both underdrawing and overdrawing using china marker, Conté crayon, Prismacolor pencil, oil pastel, and soft pastel, creating richly textured works that reflect the complexity and character of the natural world.
