My inspiration is in seeking to elaborate between the link of humanity and nature. In translating
the familiar and strange of the elegant patterns around us, as well as describe my thoughts on
environmental consciousness, I chose natural paradigms: flowers, trees, leaves, fruit, and
animals; I contrast that with human made structures, machinery, technology, etc. In juxtaposing
the themes and shapes organically and rhythmically using recycled mixed media as well as
traditional painting techniques, my goal is to create those discrete moments that can relay the
strange and beautiful circumstance that is our humanity and place in the natural world. In
understanding that the human influence on the environment is as much a part of nature as is what
is also born from the earth, we can find balance in our habits, our perception and beauty in what
is both taken from and given back to us, our home, our Earth.
