Trees are a recurring motif in my work, and I think often about the secret magic they must know as we go on about our small lives, oblivious. When the cooler weather comes and the leaves fall, I think of it not so much as the trees losing their leaves, but simply putting them to rest for a time.

I create my “twisted trees” with brown kraft paper, allowing the tree to find its shape as I work. I like the idea that what was once a tree before it became paper has returned to the shape it had in its previous life.

This work is part of my “Repurposed” series, in which I have utilized used canvases and artist panels discarded by another artist as my starting surface to create new original works. Giving new life to discarded items is a core theme of much of my artwork, reflecting my pursuit of living sustainably to be as good of a steward of the earth as I can.
