Forest Flames,

Acrylic on wood panel,

36”x36”x2” (91.44cm x 91.44 x 5.08cm),

2023.

This large acrylic painting has thick and textural layers of warm and cool hues; catching the light just right, a hint of iridescent gold crests the peaks of paint, evoking the beautiful and destructive nature of the west coast forest fires between 2020-2023.
