All my work references nature. I find I am drawn to the microcosm and the particular, rather than broad views – like dry leaves on moss, or a beetle on a flower. I’m always looking down!

After a canoe trip on the James River I began my "River Bed" series. I spent a lot of time looking down through the clear water, watching the granite river bed slide by. The age of a river puts our lives in perspective. How many lifetimes has it taken for the water to smooth those rocks we covet for our yard landsca[ing?

My process involves multiple layers, where the media (water, ink, acrylic, wax) have their role in determining how the painting develops.
