ARTIST STATEMENT

"The elements of design that occur naturally in nature inspire me as I interpret onto paper the shapes, patterns, textures, colors and light of my subject matter. A personal vision gradually emerges calling attention to these relationships in a way that may otherwise go unnoticed."
