Trainor's Garden.
59'x59'
Acrylic on Canvas

"Inspired by the Californian garden of celebrated landscape designer and artist Bernard Trainor, this painting reflects an approach to making, that mirrors nature itself.

I build the composition intuitively as the painting unfolds, responding to form, colour, and movement in the moment.

The result is a space where structure and looseness coexist, echoing the way landscapes grow, adapt, and evolve over time".

Presented by Lets Curate at Artexpo, New York, 2026.
