I look to the seasons around which to develop my paintings that are made in gratitude for the natural world. My creative process is similar to the experience of communing with nature – the peacefulness, stillness, and a glimpse of the interconnection of all things. I draw inspiration from the landscape throughout the seasons near my studio in the Brandywine Valley which inform textures and shapes found in my paintings.

A painting begins by laying out a patchwork pattern that symbolizes earth; garden plots, crops and grassland. Skinny horizontal strips at the top represent sky, air. Color develops within the natural realm of subtle hues and rays that evoke an atmosphere of harmony. The homage paintings are created and installed in the round to suggest the ongoing perennial cycle, inspiring the idea of eternity, renewal.
