My work is deeply influenced by my passion for the interplay between saturation of color, nature, pattern, and rhythm. I am drawn to colors that magnify mood and invite curiosity.  While working, I focus on building layers of color that create a felt sense of nature rather than an exact copy or replica.  In my new series, Movement and Light, I use shadows and negative space to invoke a balance of structure and fluid motion, which I believe create a rhythm and liveliness, while also shifting through intensities and values.
