Natures most fundamental forms and cycles of life have provided
inspiration for my art. During the past few years, my focus has
changed from landscape painting to abstract works using
experimental techniques such as acrylic collage and layered digital
images. I enjoy these new aesthetic challenges and the freedom to
explore line, form and color
