Artist Statement
My aim as a painter is to achieve a form of personal, imaginative expression and elegant design inspired by an intimate interpretation of nature, grounded in an ongoing exploration of the tradition of image making. Each project begins with an onsite visual experience. My initial studies are perceptual and responsive. This is a key element to my process and provides me with an opportunity to slow-look into the living vibrations of the world. A perceived experience that is usually worth pursuing oftentimes etches itself as an emotional memory. For me, painting is a testament to activating an imagined reality that parallels nature and tells a story that often conveys truth and meanings otherwise hidden beneath the unexplored depths of nature’s offering.
