ARTIST STATEMENT

In 2020, after seven years of nature photography, I transitioned to watercolor. This gave me the freedom to express how I see and feel nature, and to experiment with color and the emotions it evokes. I am captivated by the soft yet powerful work that can be created with watercolor. When I create work, my intention is to remove extraneous elements and capture the underlying essence of the complex natural world, whether the spirit of an animal or the ethereal atmosphere of a scene. To avoid distraction from what I seek to capture, I exclude human elements. Conservation is central to my work, and many of my exhibits are with organizations dedicated to protecting the natural world I paint. All works are one-of-a-kind originals - I do not produce prints - and this drives me to create and grow.

MY WORK

All watercolors are originals; no prints are made.

Photograph prints are limited edition and there are less than 50 prints of each image made.

High quality archival mats are used with all works.

Framed works include solid wood frames, made by local independent framer; glass is UV-resistant for archival purposes and anti-reflective for enhanced viewing.
