Sanctum is a reverent exploration of hidden beauty within the Grand Canyon, painted from the artist’s personal journeys below the rim. This diptych captures two sacred and secluded sites: Elves Chasm, with its layered waterfalls and emerald pool, and Ribbon Falls, cascading like a silken veil down red rock and moss. Rich, expressive brushwork and saturated color evoke the vitality and serenity of these lesser-seen oases.

​

Contrasting the grandeur of the canyon’s sweeping vistas, Sanctum draws us inward—toward moments of quiet revelation in the canyon’s inner sanctuaries. These are places of cool stillness and flowing life, accessible only through descent and solitude, making the paintings not only visual records but meditations on discovery and refuge.
