"Part of the painting process for me is a way of drawing closer to nature, getting really in, and seeing things in ways that are full of excitement and a lot of discovery and joy.

Art is about getting to know yourself and getting to know the environment in a very very intimate way by participating with the materials, the paint, the water, the canvases’, the paper boards. Those are elements of the natural world and being able to shape those into something that speaks to other people… is magical."
