“I focus on exploring and expressing the environment around me. I concentrate on the study of color, of light breaking through darkness and the textures of the natural world. I have found landscape painting an important way for me to creates a space that expresses the pulse of the natural world as it vibrates through and around me. It’s a place for me to find that still place within”.
