Artist statement

Art Passed By embraces the fleeting beauty born from the quiet dance of the elements, human intervention, and the slow march of time. A humble canvas, once utilitarian, morphs through cycles of weathering and unwelcome ruin, tenderly mended, only to reclaimed by nature. In this delicate rhythm of destruction and repair, the art becomes not just a creation, but a testament to the unintended transformations that time bestows.
