INTO THE GRAY 
Grief Series

“Into the Gray” is a painting series which transpired out of the grief and isolation I felt from the death and mourning of my father.
In grief, we instinctively seek the primality of the wilderness in order to be still enough to contemplate the depth and meaning of our loss; a process intrinsic to healing and sometimes made more difficult in an estranged context. For those seeking to heal their wounds after a traumatic experience, a history of a complicated relationship with a parent can make it harder to heal. This new series aims to connect the parallels of people and the environment while grieving and creating a safe space for viewers to reflect and pause..
