Emergence

“Emergence” Ink and Watercolor on Paper, 2025

The piece you shared is part of her “Source Forms” series. This series is an exploration of that very tension between the spontaneous and the deliberate.; a visual record of its own creation. It’s a map of the artist’s thought process, showing a dialogue between two opposing creative forces:

  • The free-flowing, intuitive expression.
  • The focused, intentional, and detailed response.

The meaning of the artwork is found in the balance and union of these opposites. It is a physical manifestation of her philosophy that intuition and intention are “equal and opposite” forces that, when combined, create a mysterious and balanced whole. It is not just a picture of a surreal landscape, but a landscape of a creative mind at work.
