Artist Statement: Nature is my primary muse, with favored subjects being bird nests, trees and pond life (of lily pads, koi and reeds) that convey movement and peace (sometimes simultaneously). I usually work in a series and explore various pastel techniques, underpainting and surfaces that make painting even more interesting and enjoyable. My intention is to interpret the natural universe as I see it to share with the viewer.
