Artist Statement
Mother Nature has bestowed us with such beauty that I am completely overcome by it’s power. When working, I often prefer not to know exactly how a piece will turn out. I let the paint and medium do what it wants to do with a little guidance. I end up with something that I couldn’t deliberately recreate even if I tried. That unpredictable result is what keeps me coming back again and again.
