Nature is a powerful force. It provides life for billions of people and it can take back those gifts in moments notice as well. It all depends on the balance that we are able to create. If we contribute to it with the respect that it deserves, nature reflects those contributions back to us with her beautiful creatures and colorful landscapes. My focus and journey is to capture those amazing reflections in my works of art.
I find that tapping into nature can be very soothing and healing to the soul. With the different faces that natures presents, I can easily find inspiration from this plurality. On my canvas, nature is portrayed as a loving thing because this is how I see it. To express this love of nature, I typically use warm and bright colors. Each item has many shades from which I create by mixing up a small number of mediums on the fly.
It is with this work that I hope to lift up people that are feeling down, to provide a scene in a painting that demonstrates something bigger than all of us as individuals, and to display and highlight the tremendous gifts that surround us every day.
It is my intention, to communicate through canvas, that by loving and respecting our surroundings and our environment, we can all live in a magical space shared by all.
