This collection explores moments of quiet presence in the natural world, those brief spaces between movement and stillness, daylight and dusk, seeing and being seen.

Each piece is constructed in three layers: a grounded base, a softly painted horizon, and a hand-burned animal rendered in fire. The process is intentional and slow, allowing texture, shadow, and restraint to do the work rather than excess detail or decoration.

The animals in this collection, deer, fox, bear, wolf, and raven, are not portrayed as symbols or characters, but as presences. They represent awareness, patience, resolve, adaptability, and memory, qualities that emerge when we stop rushing and begin paying attention.

Held Between Light is an invitation to pause.
To notice the quiet strength of what remains steady.
To recognize that not everything meaningful announces itself.
