Nature is my source of inspiration. Because nature is power, growth, beauty, color, fertility, and more, it provides me with an abundance of sensual and provocative elements from which to create a dialogue.

I seek to capture the essence of nature through depictions of the regeneration and transformation of life.

The ever present duality of dark versus light in nature attracts me to invest equal time on both characteristics. A vegetable, a root or a blossom is as readily sensuous or innocent, or as dark and brooding as the human figure. Those subject matters are to me easily interchangeable.

My work is a celebration to the forces of nature with all its sensuality and magical glories. It is how my minds eye visualizes the beings of the plant kingdom.



"It is of greater importance to create in the spirit of nature than to imitate nature's appearance. Nothing living is finished in its present form;
all is movement,
rising and falling."
—Axel Salto
