First mixed media experiments on canvas. These paintings explore the layered emotions and stories behind travel memories, both lived and symbolic. Layered with paint, collage elements, and subtle textures, each canvas weaves together fragments of maps, handwritten notes, and vintage paper. The compositions blend soft color palettes with tactile materials, creating a sense of movement and nostalgia.
This canvas is rooted in a real place: a beautiful northern beach I visited with my family. Through paint, collage, and soft textured layers, it captures the warmth of those vacations, the salt air, the quiet shoreline, and the simple joy of time spent together.
This canvas leans into symbolism. A collage of a lighthouse, a speed-limit sign, and the word sail evokes themes of exploration, direction, and seeking guidance. It reflects the inner journey that travel often sparks: navigating new paths, following curiosity, and looking for light along the way.
