Cold + Clear
Ruminations on midwinter in Interior Alaska and finding clarity in the metaphorical cold.
The Cold + Clear collection is a visual meditation on the challenge and beauty of deep winter in Interior Alaska. Each watercolor holds a dual sentiment: “cold” as an obstacle to daily life, and “clear” as a moment of resilience, reflection, or quiet celebration. Viewers are invited to engage with the work beyond the image itself, considering the joys and struggles held within these winter environments.
