My paintings are nature-based abstractions celebrating the dynamic interconnectivity of all living things. I’m intrigued with the realm between abstraction and representation, where, much like a dream coming through the veil, organic forms emerge and mingle with line, shape, color, space. I employ various processes and techniques in encaustic, oils, cold wax, drawing, and photo-collage. Plants, animals, trees, the land have long served as symbols and archetypes in the human imagination. My creative work strives to share the concept of Biophilia, the innate human love of nature, as described by biologist E.O. Wilson. My art seeks a poetic middle ground, where elements and references become abstract, whisper suggestions, and transition into a mysterious realm: nuanced, intriguing, unknown.
