Artist Statement: 

I am exploring the natural world through the mystical, in paint, and natural materials. Liminal spaces, the “in-between,” where light and shadow meet to form portals between what we understand and what we cannot define, or control, but where shifts in form and rhythm change and dance to open our consciousness to a deeper connection with, and respect for, our world.
