I am a abstract landscape painter. Informed and inspired by observations of nature, my work explores patterns from aerial views of landscapes, i.e. coastlines, forests and rivers. I use symmetrical, asymmetrical, and organic forms that are derived from my environment.
My work is influenced by indigenous peoples, Japanese wood block prints and the work of Gustav Klimt.
I begin work by applying colors to a canvas. I select areas that I want to emphasize. Doing that I can determine what direction I want to take. It’s an exciting time and it pushes me forward to complete the work.
