Statement
As an established contemporary artist, I wish to restore human spirit by extending to viewers a sense of peace, spaciousness and lively energy as expressed in my textured, nuanced canvases and gestural drawings.
“Nature Closeup,” artwork blends patterns in tide-marks, colors of sea grass, as well as layers of the earth to express soulful, ethereal designs. Micro-images of the earth are expanded 1000% using mediums of chalk pastels, vibrant acrylic paints and oil encaustics.
Inspired by old growth forests, desert landscapes and west coast beaches, my desire is to share a visually healing meditation on environmental beauty. The beauty of the air or atmosphere around sky, water, layers of land strata are translated into a calm, reflective spirit.
Through out all my art work is a love of color and soulful expression.
