Artist Statement
My studio sits in a meadow surrounded by thick woodlands. There are ghosts there – of primitive inhabitants, fossils, bones and dinosaur tracks embedded in 100 million year-old limestone. Earthly echoes from the passage of time.
Immersed in the rhythm of nature, I seek to capture its spirit. Using space, line, movement and color, I create a frame of reference which transforms my personal experience into something significant beyond my own identity. Nature’s savage beauty, the gentle flow of clouds, trees, wildlife and horses – all inhabit my canvases as symbols of a living, breathing ecosystem.
Art is life – shaped by the hands that create it and the eyes that behold it. My paintings seek to awaken forgotten feelings stirred by primitive sense memories – like hieroglyphics on cave walls. I am that cave dweller, seeking to find meaning in the world around me.
