From the forest floor the world reaches skyward - towering trunks cloaked in emerald moss rise as living columns, their branches tracing lacework against a turquoise sky. I painted this upward glance to capture the pulse of the West Coast rainforest: the steadfast strength of cedar and fir, the vivid greens that thrive on rainfall, and the sense that possibility widens each time we look up. May this piece invite you to pause, marvel, and feel how growth is always reaching toward the light.
