Art has always been enticing to me as a tool of imagination and human psychology. In years past, my focus has been figurative abstraction, but has now shifted to experimenting with a variety of materials and mixing media to create imagined and invented landscapes which are sometimes anchored in reference or reality. I am interested in exploring how we engage our environment from a psychological viewpoint and internal perspective. It’s interesting to consider how reality interacts with internal vision, fantasy, and imagination. I attempt to express this through experimentation with materials to create vistas and environments where our minds can latch on to adventure and beauty, or experience climate threats, battle weather, and be generally be either at harmony or at odds with natural forces.
