I grew up in a working laboratory of conservation. My family taught me two things: First to love nature, to see and protect its beauty. Second, to be involved in the community and to work to make the world a better place. These family traditions form my artistic voice.
I draw and paint because I love the physical world. I love the play of light on an object—branch tree, or hill. My hope is that by bringing the eye (both mine and those that see my work) to the subject I can also bring the mind of the viewer to a greater appreciation of the world.
