Harmony of Nature's Chorus
Nature’s interwoven complexities provide the pulse and tempo that I strive to capture in my painterly brushwork. A continuous yet ever-evolving theme of “sanctuary” is one I frequently return to in my work. In an exterior world that is congested with visual and audible noise, I strive to honor the sanctuary of the garden, the woods, mountains and falls.
White Symphony
I have long been in awe of the works of John Singer Sargent - his bold brush strokes and how he created white through the use of many hues. This recent floral series is not something I expected to paint, but the natural subjects around my garden have become an inspiration. This is my homage to Whistler and his Symphony in White series.
Flights of Spirit
My paintings are frequently influenced by lore and cross-cultural mythologies, and they are inspired by the vast and rich ecosystem surrounding my studio in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. These non-linear, abstract narratives are shaped not by the physics of the waking world, but by a flight of spirit, a communion with nature that involves both what is observed and what is intuited.
