In the Garden of the Ancestors
In the Garden of the Ancestors is a series inspired by the gathering of family, friends, and community to celebrate a life well lived. Drawing from memories and photographs taken during a one-year memorial observance, the paintings explore how remembrance becomes a shared act of love.
Through layered figures, vibrant color, and expressive mark-making, the works capture the energy of collective mourning, gratitude, and reunion. The series reflects the belief that our ancestors remain present through memory, story, and community, reminding us that farewell is not only an ending, but also a continuation of connection across generations.
