Artist Statement:
I paint transitions in nature, breathing room for both eyes and mind to rest. My work focuses on subtle shifts in time, the spaces in-between: the last drops of rain as the storm passes over; the dawn dew on the web; the egg shell after the bird has flown. I hope my paintings invoke memories of such tiny, miraculous details – the light, the scents, the sounds that encapsulate those singular, quiet moments.
