Plants & People
I’m a British-born, Los Angeles-based painter and plant science enthusiast. I make paintings about plants and people that explore how humans are entwined with our environment.
Leaning into the classical landscape tradition, I paint utopian spaces where boundaries blur, and everything is interconnected. Relationships of line, color, and shape speak to how being human is to be part of the larger chemical and molecular system that connects all carbon-based beings.
“Every bundle of muscle in my body was woven from the sugars plants spun from moisture and air. … Every inward breath of mine was first breathed out by plants.”
― Zoë Schlanger, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth
