This series came to life as autumn arrived in Périgord Noir. I drew inspiration from nature's seasonal decline–leaves changing color; butterflies taking their last flight. By the strange hand of fate, I lost an old, dear friend during the creation of this series.

These paintings are an ode to life's movement. At times it carries us forward out of hardship and at times it pulls us into heartache.

I hope these paintings can bring you courage and be a reminder that all things change and our strength is the ability to move through change with grace.
