I seek in my art what I seek in my life: grace, beauty, truth, wisdom and peace. My work is a celebration of my love for the colors and textures of nature. To this end, I strive to unveil its subtle mysteries.
Paring back elements of nature to its essence, my work allows the viewer to catch a glimpse of how it feels to exist in the perceived landscape. These images give pause, communicating differently, depending on what the viewer brings.
I require my work to go beyond the decorative; it must go deeper to a level of providing solace, most akin to the peaceful experience of staring into the mirror of reflective water.
I have a need to explore, experiment and play during my process. I intend to decode the secrets behind the visual interpretation of our natural world – the qualities of light, the subtleties of texture, the harmonies of color. I experiment with various techniques and compositions, but most importantly, my process satisfies the universal human need to play.
