Turkey tail mushrooms radiate outward in layered growth zones, their fan-shaped fruiting bodies echoing the unfolding geometry of flowers. Rendered through an abstracted palette of color, Bloom moves beyond botanical observation into a more dreamlike interpretation of the mushroom’s natural patterns.

Arranged in a rippling, almost hypnotic mandala of growth and return, the painting celebrates the intricate beauty of Trametes versicolor and the visual conversation between fungi and flora. Bloom reflects on the deeper unity found within apparent difference, where distinct forms of life reveal shared patterns of becoming.

Found by chance beneath a flowering apple tree in early spring, Entangled Morels began with a moment of foraging that sparked a deeper fascination with what exists above and below the ground.

Beneath the surface, mycelium weaves through the soil in vast, hidden networks. Though different from tree roots, these delicate fungal threads form their own intricate systems of exchange and connection, supporting the living relationships of the forest.

The painting is not a botanical study, but an exploration of the enchantment found in these unseen relationships: the way flowering branches, underground networks, and the life around them are part of a greater whole.

Warm, diffuse hues carry a sense of quiet movement as concentric waves radiate outward from a preserved spore print. Painted from the inland landscape of Anderson Valley, California, Dispersal: Valley reflects the mist, moisture, and fertile conditions that allow this region to support extraordinary biodiversity.

The work incorporates an actual spore print, created from a mushroom and fixed into the surface with layers of milk casein. This organic imprint becomes part of the painting itself, honoring the unseen journeys of spores and the landscapes that receive them.

Concentric waves radiate outward from a preserved spore print in cool, restrained tones. Shaped by wind, fog, and cold salt air, the coastal Pacific Northwest carries a constant sense of movement and transition.

Begun as a landscape of the Mendocino Coast, Dispersal: Coastal was drawn into the Fungi collection through the physical imprint of a foraged Agaricus augustus. The mushroom cap was placed directly onto the canvas, allowing its spores to release over several hours before the mark was fixed with layers of milk casein.

The resulting imprint preserves a moment of exchange between organism and landscape, capturing the quiet movement of matter, time, and transformation.

A Pacific golden chanterelle commands the eye, luminous and vivid against the depth of a dark forest. Around it exists the world that made its presence possible: Douglas fir, mosses, rich soil, coastal fog, and the quiet debris of the forest floor, all held within the warmth of filtered light.

The background is intentionally soft and blurred, present but unhurried, reflecting the subtle systems and conditions that support what emerges above the surface. Foraged on the Mendocino Coast, the chanterelle became a teacher, revealing that what appears to stand solitary is always part of a greater network of relationship.

Isolated but not Alone considers the tension between individuality and interconnection, between what is visible and what quietly sustains it.

The work that began the Fungi collection, Spore Rain emerged from a fascination with the hidden life of mushrooms: the understanding that the familiar fruiting body is only one expression of a much larger organism, with mycelium spreading unseen through the soil below.

Painted from the impulse to honor this hidden network, the work imagines the world beneath the surface. A single field mushroom releases its spores into an eye-like formation, while below, mycelial threads spread in patterns reminiscent of synaptic activity.

Spore Rain became the catalyst for this body of work, opening a deeper exploration of fungi as symbols of connection, transformation, and the unseen relationships that sustain life.

Rich earthen tones spread outward in an abstract interpretation of a cross-section of black truffle, evoking both the visual complexity of the fungus and the sensory experience of umami.

The painting draws from the mineral-rich darkness where truffles form, reflecting on the way what is hidden beneath the surface can become deeply sought after. Truffle Slice is a meditation on perception, pleasure, and the unexpected beauty found within the unseen.

Amanita muscaria has woven itself through human ritual, folklore, and traditional practices for millennia. This work enters that lineage through symbolic form, following the mushroom’s distinctive geometry in a spiraling composition of deep burgundy tones.

Encountered and studied firsthand along the Mendocino Coast, Amanita Unveiled honors the many layers of relationship humans have formed with this organism: its visual presence, its cultural significance, and the sense of transformation and reverence it has carried across generations.

Viewed from beneath the forest floor, Mycorrhizal Network reveals the hidden world where mycelial threads weave between tree roots in a continuous exchange beneath our feet.

Above ground, trees appear to maintain a quiet separation, their canopies often leaving intentional gaps between branches in a phenomenon known as crown shyness, where neighboring trees grow without fully overlapping. Below the surface, this distance gives way to connection: fungal networks intertwine with root systems, creating pathways of exchange and communication.

The painting explores this dichotomy between separation and intimacy, individuality and interdependence, revealing two seemingly opposing worlds that are ultimately part of the same living system.

An explosive release of spores and mycelial texture emerges from darkness, bringing together the intimate and the cosmic. Origin draws from the visual parallels between the human iris, mushroom spore prints, and the branching growth of mycelium observed in a petri dish.

Built through layers of oil, texture, and organic markings, the painting places Russula spore prints beneath delicate filament-like forms, creating a surface where biological patterns become abstracted into something both familiar and unknown.

Origin considers beginnings as moments of emergence: where the microscopic and the vast meet.

Fertilized reflects on the unexpected kinship between fungi and humans, drawing a parallel between the fertilized egg at the beginning of life and the release of spores that allows mushrooms to continue their cycle.

Across two canvases, a single form moves between separation and connection. A quarter shape on one panel resolves into a shared semicircle across both surfaces, mirroring the process of division and continuation found throughout the natural world.

What appears fragmented becomes part of a larger whole, reflecting the ongoing exchange between growth, reproduction, and transformation.

Fungi are the earth’s quiet agents of undoing and renewal. Beneath the surface, mycelial networks move through soil, plant matter, and what has ended, breaking down form and returning it to a state of possibility.

Subtle traces of worms, decomposing matter, and organic residue emerge as symbolic elements within layered fields of abstract color, reflecting the slow exchange of energy between states of life and decay.

Death Eater considers decay not as an ending, but as a transformative threshold through which life is continually reconstituted.
