 Pthalo Landscape Study I, Oil in Encaustic, 2010 |
My art is an attempt to express the beauty I find in the world. I am fascinated by textures and up close intimate views of things, but I also dream of being able to capture the essence of expansive views and landscapes. My work is deeply rooted in nature and sustainability with the hope of showing that we are all connected – to each other, to our roots, with the air, the water, the wind and the sun. Forgetting that we are Nature means forgetting our own selves.

| Tree Family Portrait, Graphite on Encaustic, 2010 |
I work largely with encaustic, milk paint, charcoal, oil and a few other mediums when the fancy strikes me. I draw inspiration from aerial photography, wood block prints, the human form, foggy days, and the wind whispering through leaves. I grow stronger from trying, more experienced from mistakes, and more joyful with each piece I create. My hope is that my artwork brings others as much enjoyment as I receive while creating them. Each day, whether working in my studio, hiking in the woods or writing, my goal is to have fun.
