Artist Statement
My paintings incorporate invention and observation, mind and matter. The work is diverse. Some works focus on marine life, the transformative power of landscape, or the complex lives of trees. My abstract series uses geometry to explore concepts of mechanics, natural phenomenon, ecology, and natural and designed systems. The compositions feature crossing pathways, complementary forces of yin and yang, and interconnected paths flowing through undefined space. The forms within reference a varied list of sources, such as shifting tides, evolution, or the concept of infinity and perpetual motion.
Each project I’ve pursued reflects an aspect of my core interests—each has involved the same philosophy and worldview. My focus is on the human connection to the natural world, the point of intersection between man and environment; the idea that we are part of, not apart from, Nature; that we are connected to all life in a continuum; that there is an underlying pattern and flow to all things; that we should learn from nature, not commodify it; that you can see the macrocosm in the microcosm—the universe in a single leaf; that, as designer Charles Eames said, “Eventually, everything connects.
