About

“I explore nature’s vastness, simplicity, and its fragility. These elements emit aesthetic sensations of harmony, expressions of timelessness, and feelings of inspiration that transcend space and time. The imagery of my work does not accurately represent nature; rather, I try to unveil an abstraction of its character to raise awareness for the preservation of our world.” 

My paintings represent a dialogue between nature’s expansiveness and its awe-inspiring simplicity. Color and composition are reduced to a minimalist stillness so that form becomes the focus. The imagery does not accurately represent nature; rather, I try to unveil an abstraction of its character, capturing infinite variations of ethereal beauty.  To learn more, see MetalScape,108 video.

My recent work entitled, Lyre  draws attention to the acidification of coral reefs within our warmed oceans.  I have been working on this series for more than ten years, studying coral collapse and reef bleaching in places such as the Great Barrier Reef, Cayman Islands, Singapore and Antarctica.

Ocean acidification, is a deadly threat to marine life, compromising the long-term viability of these ecosystems impacting an estimated one million species that depend on its coral reef habitat.  Half a billion people worldwide depend on coral reef ecosystems for protection, food, and income.
