I maintain an abiding trust in the faithfulness and fecundity of the natural world that is both generous and fierce. My art often contains motifs of flora and fauna and most recently I have enjoyed exploring the use of collage and abstraction. I am completely seduced by color and prefer to let the painting guide me as I work rather than following a rigid plan. I believe art can serve as a portal of possibilities for meaningful connection between people and also inspire a healthy give and take with nature. I find the making of art to be a life-long learning process that grows through daily practice and reflection, association with other artists and gut-wrenching honesty about what can and can’t be accomplished. I don’t make art to provide answers, rather, I hope to inspire questions and allow the viewer to interpret the work in ways that are unique and meaningful to them.
