I love how observing nature can activate an experience of awe, contemplation, playfulness, and imagination. My artwork is inspired by these encounters in the natural world along with fairytale and myth. I sometimes borrow from the childhood experience of playing in nature and seeing a natural form in just such a way that it would seem I caught a glimmer of something fantastical or mystical. Then the mind's eye conjures up a layer of movement, relationship, or transformation.
I hope to evoke similar imaginative experiences or memories or, in the least, to enliven a bit of imagination or curiosity. I like when art asks us to look closer or differently at something - when the viewer experiences more than a surface glance at an image. Perhaps it's a flash of memory, connection, idea, or mood. As Khalil Gibran put it, "I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image."
