The Muddy Water series draws its inspiration from the muddy, meandering waters of Louisiana—where movement is constant, subtle, and deeply rooted in memory. These abstract works are my visual response to that landscape, where water is both life-giver and storyteller, carving through soil with grace and power. 

Using layered applications of pigment, gestural linework, and fluid washes, I sought to echo the rhythm of the river: how it pulses through bayous and backwaters, how it stains and softens, how it never truly stops moving. Earth tones reference the dense sediment and red clay, while the sharp contrast of blue and black evoke sky, shadow, and the depth beneath the surface.
