ART I ST STAT E M ENT There is a living vibration in all things. The vibration we receive from nature can be transformational. I want to create an impression of what it feels like when I walk through the forest, gaze upon a lily-covered pond, or peer up into a magnolia tree in full bloom. I invite you to pause, reflect, and journey through my paintings to experience the wonder of being a part of this earth. To feel the vibration of life. a

PRO CES S STAT E M ENT

My work is a fusion of imagination, process, and organic, intuitive painting. I am inspired by the earth and my process begins in communion with nature.

Once I enter my studio, I blend and remix images, creating imagined landscapes and layers of botanical color and texture. Most of these are my own photographs, highly manipulated and mingled with other digital imagery. The result is a dreamscape of my observations and reverence for the natural world, with compositions that range from distant horizons to views through a macro lens.

Printed with archival inks on photographic paper, I then begin another layering process, this time with resin and paint.

Poured liquid over the surface, each resin layer is carefully controlled to encase the photographic base. In-between the cured resin surfaces, I apply paint with a highly intuitive and gestural process. I use palette knives, brushes and repurposed tools to drive my mark making and give added depth.
