Artist's Statement
“I have always been inspired by the natural beauty of our planet, I appreciate all of it, and all the more because of the differences and contrasts. It fills my heart with joy to behold a mountain shrouded in misty clouds, or the vivid green of moss in the sunshine. Scenes like these evoke powerful feelings of awe and gratitude and I open my heart to the landscape, letting it become a part of me. Every painting I create comes from this place. I hope to bring more love and beauty into our lives by creating artwork that embodies the spirit of nature so that we may always be reminded of the way that it supports and nourishes our souls”
