Artist Statement
As a mixed media painter surrounded by the beauty of the Berkshires, I aim to capture nature’s essence rather than its depiction. As I traverse the lush, rolling green hills in summer and the stark, winter landscape, it’s a gift to glimpse a fox, a bear, an early sunrise, and a brilliant sunset. Yet, in my work, I am compelled to communicate complex, fragmented dichotomy between nature’s outward perfection and its inner, and uncertain future.
