I paint and make art to connect to and show my appreciation and curiosity of the natural world using color, shape and meaning. My art is a dance between what is seen and unseen, conscious and subconscious, the past and the present, and the relationship between our physical and spiritual experience The ways in which memory, history, emotion and perception can inform the present moment continue to drive my desire to create. A painting can synthesize and mark this complexity in a unique and surprising way. And while I may control the start of a painting I am often surprised by the end result Early in my career I was influenced by children untrained artists and differently abled thinkers as these makers had an immediacy and rawness to their art making I found honest and limitless. Continuously inspired by the beauty and magic within our natural world I often find meaning and complexity in the simplest natural forms.
