There are certain places in nature I return to again and again. Some of these places I experience daily, some live in my memory and some in my imagination. I am attracted to particular places not only for their unique beauty, but also for their accessible "personal" qualities including flora and fauna, and perhaps mostly for what they elicit in me. My attraction is plural and layered. This outlook, combined with my love for modernist form and inventions, has led to unique compositional structures marrying representational nature, symbolism, and abstraction.
Most recently I have been interested in investigating the form of natural processes, seen and unseen, such as the feel of a rainy day, the flight path of active hunting insects, and the swelling calls of spring peepers.
My work explores regeneration in nature (in a time of destruction) and my desire to experience magic and wonder in daily life.
