Life today is stressful and complicated. We are bombarded daily by a dizzying array of images that are challenging, sometimes perplexing, and often very disturbing. With my work, I hope to invite viewers to stop and take a beat, to reflect and contemplate a more simple place. I try to recreate, with oils, the presence of nature as it is, as it should be, a view, a glimpse, of a microcosm of the world that we can happily be lost in for a time.
