  • "West Garden" is a mixed media painting that warns of the dangers of isolation and secrecy. The composition is dominated by a white house against an ominous black backdrop. The house serves as a metaphor for the psychological self. The windows of the house offer a glimpse into the enigmatic dwelling but do not allow full entry, as the glass veils clarity and reflects its surroundings. This represents the contrast between the self-image we reflect and the mystery of what truly lies behind the walls.

    Vivid red vines crawl up the exterior walls. Through their cautionary color, the vines manifest the growing dangers posed to the mind and spirit when the authentic self is withheld. However, the plants in the foreground bring hope of growth and life. This represents what awaits those who choose to let others in; to be known is to be healed.
