Guided by Instincts of Care and Protection

Set beneath the California redwood canopy, Curiosity celebrates the forest’s biodiversity and the universal instincts of protection and survival. Painted during a long, rain-soaked winter, it depicts California Quail guiding their chick across a forest floor alive with moss, fungi, and bay laurel. Enlarged mushrooms and glimpses of maple grain lend the work a dreamlike quality, blurring natural observation with emotional metaphor.
