ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Spending time in nature is good for the soul. Through my art, I bring the outdoors in. While I make no attempt to capture the world realistically, my creations do allow the viewer to experience their own story. Living with beautiful pieces of art that pay tribute to our surroundings reminds us to slow down and re-connect with nature.
