Artist’s Statement:

This past year has been full of intense change, revealed most visually in my artwork. In the past, I was trying to speak through my work – now, I am trying to listen through my work. I usually start with a visual inspiration – often my own photograph of a plant, rock, or water – and then I pay attention. I try to stay open. I find that my work is simply a journey – the process has been important for my personal growth - perhaps the result will resonate with others.

My goal continues to be to portray the dramatic beauty found deep within all life and to inspire others through the spiritual energy found in light, colour, texture, form and shadow.
