Artist Statement: “I believe that as humans, we share common moments. One of the most special is the wonder that accompanies witnessing a beautiful scene in nature, which often provides a respite from the busyness that can be day to day life. I endeavor to capture, by using materials from nature… My hope is that my art might bring the viewer back to a special time, providing a small reminiscence of that wonder.” (via Whidbey Art Gallery)
