Statement
I am inspired by Nature. I paint and draw natural forms and landscapes. I create paintings and drawings in my studio using natural objects, plant forms, shells, bones and other forms. I attempt to find the lyrical and the mysterious in what I see. I also use digital photography as my sketch book, taking my camera into the landscape. I then develop large paintings from my "sketches" using these images as a source for the final piece. I am fascinated by the movement, patterns, and colors found in the natural world. | ||
