I am drawn to the elemental and mystical qualities of written and visual imagery, the importance of soulful consciousness, and the remarkable quality of fine art when all the basics are woven together to create elegance, mystery and inspiration for self-realization and positive change.

In my creative work, I explore the open spaces of the soul through photography, poetry, paint and mixed media, discovering the subtle nuances that are hidden in the landscape around me; recognizing that Nature does not live in the boundaries that humans do, in tiny squares viewed on a satellite map, but within the vast landscape which we have merely built our homes upon.

I am an artist who is deeply concerned about the long term sustainability of all living beings on our planet. This passion drives my work; to change the conversation and engage awareness of the possibility of Nature as a single living organism responding to the actions of humanity, while promoting collaboration and consciousness of interdependence, between all living beings and our environment.

I have been honored by others exhibiting and collecting my work worldwide, in places I never thought my expression of soul would integrate itself; locations such as Los Angeles, Slovenia, the UK, New York, Sweden, Portland, Seattle and Switzerland. My work has received several awards, which like any other artist, encourages me to keep going in the direction that my creative muse is leading me, even if they are uncharted waters.
