Artist Statement

I am drawn to landscapes with distinct light and texture, the movement of all weather conditions and how that plays on our surroundings. I hope to convey a journey through layers & hints. Whispers, echoes of memories past, a timelessness that is visually poetic, by provoking elusive fleeting glimpses into our psyche.”
