Beauty is more than just pleasing pattern and color. For me, beauty is also found in rhythms, sounds and light — anything that creates a feeling of calm and sense of awe. I reflexively go through my day looking for patterns and light, and I find them most often while looking at water. This way of looking is my way of bringing a balance to my world, especially in these tumultuous times. I focus on highlighting the beauty of the abstract composition nature provides, while conjuring the almost musical rhythm of the water and its restorative properties.
