ARTIST’S
STATEMENT
QUIET
OBSERVATION OF NATURE AND THE CREATURES THAT ROAM, SWIM AND SHARE
THIS PLANET TELL A STORY OF LIFE. THE IMAGES THAT INTEREST ME
DISCUSS LIFE’S CONTINUING PROCESS, THE MYSTERY OF ITS EVOLUTION
AND THE PRIMORDIAL WORLD. THERE IS A BALANCE IN THE NATURAL WORLD
THAT IS DRIVEN BY SURVIVAL. NOTHING IN NATURE IS ARBITRARY, EVERYTHING
HAS A PURPOSE CONNECTED TO SURVIVAL AND PROCREATION OF A SPECIES.
I SEARCH FOR BALANCE IN HOW WE FIT INTO THIS SCHEME IN THE MODERN
WORLD WHILE WE CO-HABITATE WITH NATURE.
MY FOCUS IS ON THE BIG PICTURE OF OUR NATURAL WORLD AND ALSO ON
THE SMALL UNSEEN THINGS SUCH AS THE DRAGONFLIES THAT SKIP OVER
AN OBSCURE POND OR THE DESCENDING PODS FLOATHING TO THE GROUND
THAT REMAIN INVISIBLE. THESE ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE DANCE. THEY
ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF EVOLUTION AND SERVE A PURPOSE IN THE SCHEME
OF THINGS AS MUCH AS THE MONUMENTAL NATURAL OCCURRENCES. AWARENESS,
SEEING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS SACRED IS
MANIFEST IN THESE PAINTINGS.
THE NATURAL WORLD NOURISHES THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND HEIGHTENS ONE’S
SENSES. PAINTING IS A WAY OF ILLUMINATING THESE IDEAS AS THOUGH
SEEN THROUGH DREAMS AND MEMORIES.
