    Shana Nys Dambrot It's remarkable how the artist has infused these ordinary LA trees with such a sense of emotion, foreboding, and also majesty. They seem both ancient and alien and are absolutely mesmerizing. Great classic technique as well.

    Susan Spiritus Such an original perception of looking at trees! Each image is strong and the series holds together extremely well.

My series,‘In the Garden at Chislehurst’, explores the challenges of adjusting emotionally to the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic came to my world I thought I could 'handle' it but I spent most evenings stockpiling supplies from Amazon preparing for the worst. My days, are spent in a garden in Los Angeles as a nanny to a 4 year-old boy, where he pulls berries from a bush to make berry stew. I sit alongside him in the dirt as he 'cooks.' In this pretend world of innocence & nature I'm able to hide from the realities just outside the garden.
