2023.002 Locken Barn, 48x38 inches, acrylic on canvas, NFS

The barn is a portrait of place and memory from my aunt’s photo of the family farm. Central in the landscape of my childhood, the barn is real and a site of wonder, unease, and a source of generations of stories. I sought to capture how it feels, not just looks. The land holds story, and structures become containers of identity, emotion, and perspective.
