The Hidden Country is a visual exploration of territory just beyond the boundaries of the self.

Where the wise go to rest - it is equal parts renewal of surroundings and soul.

I believe in a deep reality which exceeds our perception of it. We encounter the world through material surfaces, yet occasionally those surfaces seem to open and awaken us. Nature reminds us that it is creation. Familiarity is sensed from the peripheral. And what was present all along is suddenly perceived.

The paintings in this collection attempt to occupy this threshold between the visible and unseen. A quiet place where the whisper of the divine might be heard, where numinous light shines through everyday matter, and where fleeting encounters with beauty can reshape our own inner landscape.

Made in partnership with nature and guided by the spirit, each piece offers a contemplative experience in material form. Titles and motifs of the collection humbly echo the work of Andrei Tarkosvky, Haldor Laxness, T.S. Eliot, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Heidegger, and many others who wrestled with Beauty.
