Artist Statement
 

There is profound depth and mystery when in the presence of Nature.  Painting these modern interpretations of the natural world continue to be inspired by living in the vibrant city  of San Francisco, surrounded by Sea and Forests and my love of travel and adventure.  These abstractions have become a creative act of surrender that bring me back to the quiet bliss of moments spent seaside and the sublime stillness found walking in the woods.  My work can be seen in both public and private collections across the globe from San Francisco to London, Copenhagen, and Dubai. It is my hope that they bring the viewer reprieve from the cacophony of their busy modern day lives and into a world of serenity and grace while connecting them to a bigger world within and around them.
