My work explores a meeting place between chaos and order. From realism to the non-objective, landscape—both interior and exterior—informs my work. I am drawn to, and comforted by, the pastoral, yet find equal inspiration in serendipitous patterns. One area of my work combines abstract images and shapes with a stream-of-consciousness text. The Strata series is process-oriented and meditative. I am searching for an animated balance and a certain kind of beauty.
