I look within nature to find refuge and my work channels the consideration of this relationship.

“I have a fundamental interest in plant and animal life, drawing much of my
influence from nature. My work is inspired by my plants and garden, and
frequent hikes in our natural environment. Colour is my
passion. Recent painted collages allow me to combine a love of both
painting and sculpture by breaking down elements of a composition and
restructuring them in layers of colour and form.”
