A recurring theme in my work is the ambiguity of time and space.  By suggesting an imaginary universe of macro and micro forms, I seek to suggest eternity, mortality, and the fragility of existence.  I combine simple shapes with complex texture to create “secret places” for the eye to go and the imagination to be triggered.  There is an emphasis on color and luminosity to portray the brilliance of Nature in various forms.
