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 the soul and our surroundings.

We encounter the world through material surfaces, and occasionally those surfaces seem to open and awaken us. Nature reminds us that it is part of creation. Familiarity registers from the peripheral. And what was present all along, a much deeper reality, 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 can be heard, where numinous light shines through everyday matter, and where fleeting encounters 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 many others who have wrestled with Beauty.
