Artist Statement
Nature is bursting with colors, textures, light, and life. My joy comes from observing nature, often in unexpected places. Many of my works have grown from a concern for the environment, loss of nature, and a reverence for our natural world. I have always had a passion for rock hunting and include stones in most of my works. Stones have history diversity, and longevity that reinforces nature. My hope is to inspire more reflection on the natural treasure found in our environment.
