Oak

Oak is based around many of the trees found on my family’s farm growing up in Virginia. The mighty oaks were gnarled and old but stood tall and offered shelter to everything needing it. This piece was inspired by Ansel Adams’ photograph, Oak Tree and Sunset. I cloaked the piece in a scrap of tulle to represent the mist that would often surround the trees on the farm. The oak trees were always a steadfast reminder to stand tall and proud through all of life’s weather.
