Paintings - Statement

Aspects of nature are the inspiration for my paintings. The heart of nature's beauty instills in me a sense of awe, wonder, and fear as I am drawn into its world of mystery, power, depth, light and dark.

Nature and the universe are constant reminders to me of life and death; the impermanence of a cloud, a flower, a star, a wave and of our existence.

My paintings are archives of emotional and intuitive responses to nature/life/death. They are a way to interpret and catch the fleeting beauty that surrounds us and a way to embrace the unknown.

As I push the paint or the wax, I experience my reaction to a given moment; in that instant the complex becomes simple. Time stands still and moves on at the same time. The visceral act of painting leads me into the realm of constant change and movement. As I touch beauty, I see that she never sits still and is always beckoning me on.
