“Falling Up”
Acrylic on Canvas. 14” x 18”. 2026
Falling Up is one painting in the “Bud” series which documents the travels and experiences of Bud the little white flower that melts up. This installment is a surreal black and white scene depicting Bud melting upwards in a landscape that is doing the same. The painting is rendered with depth in the forefront of the mind with large objects looming in the background that are faded by the atmosphere between them and the viewer. It tells a story of adventuring through a wholly unfamiliar land and encourages the viewer to find beauty and whimsy in the strange and foreign. Embrace the strange and don’t follow what you know, explore the weirdest places you can find.
