I have always loved nature and gardening. Naturally, my passion has translated to my artwork where I use all facets of plants to symbolize a range of emotions and concepts.

Many cultures have a catastrophic flood origin story. In Torah, Noah’s ark saves human and animal life, swaying for forty days and nights amidst the deluge.  

God created a watery expanse above the realms and great waters below the realms. The wonder of these endless expanses of watery masses has a cosmic and immeasurable quality. Between them, God formed the space where our world exists.

The waters saved the infant Moses by concealing him in
an ark amongst the reeds. Miraculously, the baby is
found by Pharaoh’s daughter and raised in their Royal court to become a powerful sage and leader.
