“Last year, while hiking through the Canadian Rockies, I encountered the great glaciers up close. The journey held a deeper resonance: it followed my third battle with breast cancer and a near-fatal reaction to immunotherapy. Each step of that seven-mile hike felt like a victory—an affirmation of resilience, presence, and the preciousness of life. Standing before those immense formations, I felt both humbled and ignited.

My recent series of paintings reflects on the fragile equilibrium between beauty and danger in our environment, with particular attention to the rapidly melting glaciers. Once symbols of permanence, they now stand as urgent emblems of climate change and human impact.

I work with a palette that carries the darkness of millennial ice, the luminous blues of ice in transformation, and the ash-grey tones of moraine and glacial till. Each brushstroke bears the emotional weight of these precarious, shifting landscapes—inviting viewers to look closely, to understand deeply, to rise up, and to engage in preserving our planet.

This work extends beyond personal survival and the metaphors nature offers; it is a call to awareness. By exploring the intersection of natural beauty and human endurance, I hope to spark conversations and inspire new ways of seeing—and protecting—our fragile world. There is a quiet fury beneath the peace of it all.

You can trace it in the direction of my strokes.”
