Biography
Observation of nature formed both my outlook on life and style of painting. This focused my attention to the patterns and movements found in nature, from the repetitive formula of a flower, to the chaotic rhythm of the ocean. As a child, I was deeply intrigued by the marbling patterns found within stone. Now, through my art, I copy them. The elements found within nature are undeniably attractive.  We are all deeply drawn to them.

Through my work, I am attempting to replicate the style of nature. In today’s fast-moving, high-tech world, the splendor of nature, oftentimes, is overshadowed and taken for granted. I aim to spotlight that which forms and prospers without the intervention of man.

Statement
Frequently, I am so distracted by my day-to-day life that the beauty of nature goes totally unseen. Much of the time we become so immersed with our things and stuff that they begin to dominate the view of our landscapes, turning us blind to the awe of nature.

In my work, through subject matter and process, I attempt to reflect the unpredictable temperament of nature. This haphazard and formulaic collision of elements is found everywhere and is truly captivating. The colors and patterns that indiscriminately emerge in nature are what I seek to capture in my painting.

My art serves as a simple reminder. A reminder that asks “where do we live?” and “who should we thank?” What are we if not a consequence of our environment? From a drop of dew on a blade of grass to a winding canyon wall, everything leans on nature reminding us, “it” is “we”.
