I’ve always found in nature, landscapes in particular, the peace, inspiration and healing I needed. When I discovered the medium of sumi-e, where the importance is on expressionism not realism, I found the language of my soul. People who experience my work say it’s inspiring, that they feel “something” whether it’s beauty, thoughtfulness, or mindfulness speaking into their souls. “It’s like looking at a Florida sky before a storm or a Colorado mountain stream churning with energy. My work is organic, filled with passion, spontaneity and harmony. At first glance seemingly without order, but then the balance and beauty shows itself, just like life, if you’re really looking.”
