“I love the intersection between nature, fantasy, science, and spirit. My creations are inspired by my experiences in nature and by my biggest influence, my father, who was a PhD in marine biology and taught college for 33 years. I grew up visiting his biology department and specifically his bio-lab where he housed a wide variety of animals, often donated/surrendered. Other sources of influence include topographical maps, botany, Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, the Dadaist movement, and music lyrics. I tend to work from a word or phrase to start a painting. I love to create odd or challenging surrealist work when I’m not making meditative abstract art. Having both satisfies my intellect as well as my spirit.”
