ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work derives its inspiration from the magic and wonders of nature.   I am drawn to see and focus on what others may not notice.  If we look closely, there are many wonders to see inside a raindrop, within the soft folds of a rose petal or in the tiny pieces of pollen clinging to the back of a bumble bee.    My goal is to give the viewer a look into the unique creations that surround us and to portray a feeling of magic and mystery. 

I would hope that the viewer will walk away from seeing my paintings with a new vision and perspective and perhaps the next time they walk in the rain, stroll through a garden or relax on the beach, they will take the time to look closely at the jewels of nature around them.  Enjoy!
