When Time Stops

As the world paused during the early days of confinement, many turned to what felt more essential, more meaningful. For a while, time seemed like suspended… These paintings are a reflection of this moment when nature experienced an unexpected reprieve from human activity. This is also a painted homage, as I feel deep connections with each of these places, because of friendships or family roots. After many years of more abstract painting, I enjoyed this new exploration. As painter David Hockney put it, “Time stopped is perspective.”
