"I love the versatility of acrylic paint along with the lower toxicity impact to the environment. The style I’ve chosen to pursue can be defined as 'imaginative realism.' I explore natural beauty and paint with my imagination on the edge of what's visible.

I’ve also created a series of paintings of burrowing owls set in a collage of actual 3D metallic trash retrieved from public land. These artworks are a personal expression and concern for the wildlife and wild places affected by the carelessness of humanity.

I find the greatest connection with my own mortality and transcendence when I’m in nature. My passion for painting is to take that connection and create striking encounters of beauty that ignite wonder, imagination and creativity. I believe my art is a catalyst of hope."
