In these paintings, the Forest Bathing collection becomes a quiet study of moss, lichen, and air. Abstractions of color and line echo the slow rhythms of walking in the woods, inviting the viewer into a subtle, restorative pause.

It is about evoking the felt experience of slowly moving through the woods rather than literally depicting trees. It suggests a quiet, sensory immersion in light, color, and texture—the damp green of moss, scattered lichen, shifting shadows, the rhythm of breath—so the viewer feels a subtle reset in their own body, as if they’ve just stepped out of the forest.

The Gentle Canopy

Beneath the boughs of ancient green,
Where dappled light and shade are seen,
I step away from rushing streams,
To walk within a world of dreams. 

The forest asks for nothing more
Than footprints on the mossy floor.
Here, time dissolves in quiet space,
And stillness is the resting place. 

I breathe the scent of pine and bark,
And listen to the soaring lark.
The rustling leaves a rhythm keep,
While rooted giants watch and sleep. 

I bathe in peace, my spirit calm,
The emerald woods a healing balm.
In every shadow, every gleam,
I wake inside the forest's dream.
