Time…

the universal

measurement of

life’s progression...age.

 

 

Nature…

a precious gift...transient

in it’s beauty when

subjected to time.

It

Artist Statement

 

           is the common things that are most often taken for granted  -- the fruit and flowers of our daily sustenance -- nourishment for body and soul, respectively.   These are delicate and fleeting gifts.  

 

Through my work, I elicit a greater appreciation for their beauty by elevating them to the forefront of the observer’s attention. 

 

While my paintings isolate a particular moment in time, it is through the details -- a browning, torn leaf, the curling of a dried petal, a broken stem, bruised fruit, dewdrops -- that I evoke a sense of transience in Nature’s beauty.   I take the observer through many phases of growth from bud to blossom, ripening fruit to withering vine -- life and death and ultimately, rebirth of spirit, for within this beauty we find comfort and peace.
