About
Sand Shadows, 2016, monotype, 16" x 24"
Artist Statement
My artwork explores flora and fauna with a playful embrace of color and texture across three primary media: painting, printmaking and drawing.
I seek to capture a sense of freshness and spontaneity in my paintings and prints and enjoy the sense of discovery in unexpected results. It is a great source of inspiration for me. Above all I wish to communicate my sheer wonder at the transient beauty and mystery of the natural world.
