It is through painting that I explore both my own nature and the natural world that surrounds me. The intrinsic wholeness embedded in my relationship to nature, which I both embody, and am embodied by, become apparent as I follow color, forms, and images that emerge and guide. It is an intuitive process that combines elements sourced from seeing, memory, and reverie. My work resides in the spaces in-between. It is a process of getting lost and finding my way. Trusting that I will find my way as themes and images come in and out of focus. I think of this as my own personal archeology. This exploration often leads to something new being revealed and to a deeper personal understanding of the world around me, my sense of place, and my own history. My thoughts are of the mind, time, memory, dream space, the body, nature, and the resilience and fragility of our environment.
