My canvases are a window into real and imagined places that I create through the use of color, composition, texture and design. Much of my work was based years of teaching ecology and my passion for landscapes and our natural world. In painting, I attempt to capture the essence, and atmosphere of places and moments in time when we experience a sense of awe. Most of my work is done with oil paints, however, experimenting with many different types of medium and incorporating material into my artwork keeps the process alive, joyful and challenge.
