My artwork is inspired by the patterns, textures and colors in the natural world. I seldom have a finished image in mind when I begin to work. Through a highly intuitive process, I work, then look and think, allowing each piece to speak, to tell me what it needs until it is complete. Painting is language I use to speak about my profound awe and gratitude in the presence of the great creator.
