Artist Statement:
Creating art was my primary
interest throughout childhood
and it has since become my
profession. Nearly all of my
work is nature-inspired.
Sometimes I am compelled to
show recognizable forms, other

pattern, color combination or
phenomenon that lends itself
well to either organic or
geometric abstraction. I am

various cultures to explain
nature’s mysteries.
My goal is to produce works
that will hold one’s
attention—works that can be
contemplated repeatedly and
that invite viewers to
meditate on something as
simple as a bit of luminous
color or a graceful line. I
prefer to work small because
doing so is conducive to my
aim of creating an intimate
viewing experience.
While I have worked in a wide
range of media, I always come
back to watercolor, pastel and
colored pencil, often
combining two or all three of
the latter in order to create
a layered look that is at once
saturated and translucent. In

lines that take on watercolor
pigments heavily and shift
