Windows
Grayton Beach State Park – Florida Landscape Collection
I went to Grayton Beach State Park looking for the shot—the famous treeline everyone photographs. I knew what it was supposed to look like. I’d seen it a hundred times through other people’s lenses.
But standing there, I couldn’t find it.
I realized I was inside the treeline, not outside of it. I was standing in the place people photograph from afar, looking outward instead of in. From where I stood, the view was different—framed by a palm, interrupted, imperfect. And yet, it felt more honest.
That moment became this painting.
Windows is about perspective. About how what we see depends entirely on where we’re standing. Sometimes we spend so much time trying to capture what everyone else sees that we forget to notice what’s right in front of us. When you’re inside the experience, the view changes. The story changes.
This piece is a reminder that every perspective has value—and that the world outside your window is shaped by how you arrived there in the first place.
