Artist Statement

My latest mission in art is to express the importance of getting back in touch with nature.  Aesthetically, I have always been interested in nature.  I enjoy going on hikes and taking pictures of the beautiful things, untouched by man.  I want to remind people that we are a part of the Earth and the Earth is a part of us.  I love wood grain, bark and knarled dead trees; the pattern of decay and how things breakdown over time, especially when it inspires new growth.  I like when nature reclaims manmade objects, such as ruins, vine overgrowth. I am fascinated with the textures that nature forms without the interference of man.  I also am interested in the human figure which is another beautiful example of nature.
