My paintings and drawings are motivated by my experiences in nature.  The images come from my walks in the woods and travels I have taken and begin with quick studies or photos.  My work immerses the viewer in nature, often focusing on the quiet or solitude of a certain place.  I am particularly drawn to the subtle interplay of light and color unique to that place.  The rhythms of shapes help me determine a way through the space in the works, much as I experience on my walks.
