Artist’s Statement:

All around us, the natural world offers a distant mirror of our experiences:  in the sky and water and on the earth.  Great drama, intricate patterns, faces, shapes, and colors are all around, and sometimes, the most beautiful of these lasts only an instant.

The light, patterns, colors and shapes found in Nature’s palette of sweeping landscapes, skies, and waterways blend realism, impressionism, and abstractions. As part of my joy in living, I transfer those images onto paper, canvas, and aluminum, creating photographs that can ornament, inspire — perhaps transform — our living spaces.
