Artist Statement:

Nature inspires me to create what I see and to express it to others for their encouragement and joy.  My experiences and thoughts throughout the day greatly influence my creative decisions.  Reflecting the nature that inspires me, my physical process is equally natural.  Often my space for creating is set apart from the rest of the world so I can reflect on the process and allow myself to meditate on my inspiration for that piece.  My attention is closely partnered with an awareness of a spiritual side of life that is unseen.  Painting becomes a place of deep thought and prayer inspired by the Creator Himself.
