Nature provides all the clues for translating feelings onto a two dimensional surface.  Light illuminates everything, and so my art  is always a discovery of that which is hidden within myself, yet wants to shine.   It is discovering how light manifests in my reality.   I believe the energy translated through my humble brush directly onto the canvass makes me accept who I am from this intimate translation of form.   Nature is the ultimate guide and inspiration. My evolution into the unknown is a pursuit that is the ultimate curiosity.  I must follow my own instinct to discover this realm of the invisible. The visual language I have learned from the observation of nature is dynamic, subtle, eloquent, and elegant. Like a mysterious, invisible spirit, it invites  me to look carefully and discover secrets through my own visual vocabulary.  I am a student of light, which always humbles me.  To go deeper I search for the spirit of the thing I am observing. This pursuit of spirit demands the truth of who I am: a delicate, humble, refined soul of an artist.
