I make Art to Connect and Play and give voice to
Flights of Fancy

Nature inspires me. I am enthralled by the changing colors, complex details, infinite variety and sheer wonder of the natural world, and never tire of observing and interpreting the dazzling beauty around me.

I play with color, shapes, angles and patterns in these interpretations, hoping to find a balance between the purest truth in Nature and the particular, unique voice in which Nature speaks to me.

The patterns used by many diverse cultures throughout history also fascinate me. I think of these designs as a dynamic, universal language weaving through time, connecting us all to one another and allowing us, as artists, to continue telling the age-old story.

I have been greatly influenced by the philosophy and work of Navajo and Apache artists with whom I spent the summer of 1996. They showed me the many profound ways in which Art can be informed by Nature and Belief. This transformative experience forever changed my creative process and I now always strive to celebrate the essential spirit of the Natural World
