Artist's Statement:

As a child, picture books were my conduit to other worlds. Nature was another. I believe, imagination is the child’s muse and primary architect. As an artist, departing from the literal and exploring nuance and mood finds its ties within the same kind of connection to wonder and fascination. The artist Paul Klee said, “Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.” Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, through light and shadow, color and design, and quiet contemplation are touch points in my process. It’s a good life full of profound intimacy and an untamed sense of curiosity.
