Artist's Statement

Capturing the essence of a brief moment of beauty created by nature is what I strive for in artistic expressions in photography, drawing and painting. The exquisite elegance of nature’s unique shapes and vibrant colors, as they are altered by the sun and atmospheric conditions, are fleeting and offer an opportunity for the artist to share what others may not have witnessed.

A bumble bee taking in a flower’s sweet nectar; the shadows of naked branches on freshly fallen snow; golden leaves aglow with the afternoon autumn sun; shells shimmering after being washed by a wave; a sunflower reaching toward the sky; a bearded iris opening to reveal its delicate splendor—these visual wonders I endeavor to present for others to experience.
