Brief Artwork description These Works are created from observation of the subject and through intuitive, emotional responses. Each subject used, whether it be landscape, the figure or still-life, is a vehicle for looking into the processes of formation, evolution and dissipation beyond the fixed, physical expression of nature. I want to encourage the eye to move into the image as well as see the overall unity of the composition. As the content of these Works form and reform, they explore the way we see and experience the visual world and what we understand to be the true nature of what we observe.
