Artist Statement

The inspiration for my paintings comes from observing details in nature; shapes of tree branches, color of sunlight, patterns in ice and reflections in a pond, networks of twisted vines and delicate spring blooms.

These human‐scale patterns imprinted in the environment repeat themselves both on a microscopic and macroscopic scale, from one life form to another, transcending the physical reality we perceive to the very concepts of life itself such as growth, decay, regeneration, fission and symbiosis. 

My creative process often starts with photographs or sketches that inspire a vocabulary of shapes and gestures which echo these patterns and retain their organic quality.

Blending imagery from the real world and imagination, the works explore the perception and interpretation of the infinitely large and infinitely small patterns that make up reality.
