MOUNTAIN PASS is a series of four paintings from an unforgettable journey through Kashmir. These works are inspired by a horseback trek off the beaten path to a quiet riverside trail. The works reflect moments of lush green, pristine chilled waters, stillness, calm, and wonder. One memory lingers: our horse minders crossing the river to bring back piping hot Kahwa tea and biscuits—a simple act of warmth and generosity that captured the spirit of the entire trip. The paintings echo the lush landscape, the sound of a pristine river, sun-warmed boulders, and the unhurried rhythm of time.
