Artist Statement:
Nature slays me. I am so
amazed at how perfect and
beautiful it is. My art has
been influenced more by nature
than anything else in the
world.
I was lucky enough to grow up
"in the sticks" so that my
everyday childhood was filled
with fishing for crayfish in
the creek and playing with
tadpoles, frogs and
salamanders out of the pond. I
also trapped and raised
raccoons and opossums. I
collected weeds and stones
because I loved the textures
and colors. I began drawing
from nature at a very young
age and never lost interest.
As an adult I began to be very
interested in anything
Chinese. Their appreciation
and respect for nature in art
drew me to study traditional
Chinese brush paintings for
many years. I had some
exceptional brush teachers
like Kwok Kay and Alice Choey
and Michael and Sarina Poon.
The work I do now combines
both eastern and western
techniques....
