STATEMENT “In our demanding and fast paced culture, many of us have lost a deep connection to the land, to each other, and even to our own souls. We suffer as a result. Our relationships suffer. The earth suffers. Nature gently leads us back to attention, connection, and a sense of place where restoration and inspiration can arise. My art is inspired by a love of nature. I am a wanderer of woods and field, in love with tree, lichen, fern, dropped blossom, reflecting puddle, donkey ears, and horse muzzle. I love the clouded sky through tangled branches and light dancing off gurgling stream. These sustain and inspire me. My intention is to inspire people to reconnect with themselves and nature, opening to reconciliation, restoration, and inspiration.”
