“With my feet firmly planted on the soil of the earth, I raise my eyes to the skies and feel the embrace of the cool breeze off the lake's surface and breathe deeply. I imprint the scene into my memory banks to be recalled at a later date.
THIS is my happy place, located in the places between the land, the water and the sky. As I coax the pigmented wax across the boards in my studio, carving, ironing and splashing the wax, I hope to transfer these moments of awe and quiet contemplation and appreciation of the natural world into the work for the viewer. My intention is for viewers to empathize with the sites I reveal in my art, spurring stewardship”
