I make paintings, prints and cut paper structures in response to the beauty and wonderment of my surroundings.
For me, the act of making is a journey into the unknown. My observations and perceptions converge to construct environments that are invented yet familiar. My work combines drawing and painting with a faithful knowing that every decision I make brings me closer to the moment when my mind and heart connect.
