Artist Statement
Using disparate subject matter that ranges from nebulous star fields to snow capped volcanoes to ominous icebergs to the metamorphosis of birch veneer; my paintings aim to capture a natural world in flux. Navigating this uncertain terrain reveals a shifting paradigm and dispels the concept of nature as a static, willing participant in our plans. Further distillation of these images lead to meditations on the sublime, landscape, environment, illusion, future frontiers and the infinite. It is from these still moments that we look outward and truly see nature changing before our very eyes.
