What sustainable painting means here

Sustainability is built into the way each painting is made, not only into its subject.

Natural mineral pigments
Color comes from substrates and muds of lakes, deserts, forests and jungles, and from rock formations: rusty, marble, rocky, stony and charred tones ground into paint.
Plant-based mediums
Pigments are bound with plant-based mediums instead of petroleum-derived acrylics, reducing reliance on synthetic materials in the studio.
Sustainable supports
Paintings are built on sustainable stretched canvas, cotton canvas and wood panels, chosen to lower the footprint of each piece.
Layers, textures, doodles
Layers of paint with different transparencies and textures, finished with doodles that morph into humans and animals over nature and society.
