The series entitled Mushrooming explores the overlap between early civilizations and the nature that inspired them. In these paintings, Etruscan artifacts float in layers of organic form, primarily shells and mushrooms. The sacred geometry embedded in the shell is repeated in crafts like weaving and ceramics and systems like architecture and urban planning. They are the cycle of life and death that connects us to the past and to our roots in the natural world.
