Comfort of Home

This series explores the meaning of home and how our surroundings make us feel secure. I grew up near my grandparent’s home on the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina. They lived at the end of a long winding driveway, surrounded by towering magnolia trees. I fondly remember running around with my cousins, picking flowers, and exploring the neighbors’ gardens. Returning to the land they lived on never fails to bring me comfort and peace. Those memories inspired the motifs and imagery seen throughout this series. My work reflects the familiarity and sentimentality felt when experiencing a place that I call home.
