About

Artist Statement

My work is driven by the need to share what I have perceived as extraordinary, in the natural world.

I explore this world, visually and then deepen the vision by understanding the science, the stories surrounding what has my attention, including indigenous perspectives, and whatever other writings or creative approaches have come to bear upon it.

I will draw, experiment with media and gradually focus in on how the work or groups of works will be created. I really enjoy the rawness and expressiveness of the simple, rapid willow charcoal drawings done on site. And this practice grounds, and informs the studio work at both a conscious and unconscious level.
