My recent work is inspired most by the limitless possibilities presented by water and sky. The fluid, ever-changing state of both provides infinite occasions when their beauty and power capture our attention. These moments provide a connection to something greater than ourselves. They can heal and refresh, bring peace and comfort, and provide a momentary stay against the confusion of the world.

My paintings echo these moments in nature. Each painting creates an open space that is both a respite from reality and an acknowledgement of the power of beauty in nature. I create art because I believe in the power of art to foster our connection to nature and bring the positive benefits of that connection to the environment where the work is displayed.
