My expressionist, contemporary nature art has always been grounded in the stylistic representation of a deeper, more sensory-driven, and intimate connection with nature. Most of my work emerges as intuitive, sometimes subtle - other times bold - expressions of the powerful movement of energy, the synergy, and feelings of the senses engaging in direct experiences with nature. I primarily immerse myself in the beautiful, organic process of the masters by making my own paints with natural earth paint pigments and walnut oil. I love exploring and creating detailed, moving, sensual strokes with liner brushes with oil, watercolor, or acrylic paints; fine point pencils, charcoal, ink pens, or, when necessary, my stylus pen and iPhone. Basically, whatever is on hand during natural moments of inspiration. Being fully immersed in the natural world ignites my creativity and increases my sense of belonging and overall well-being. Scientific and psychological research validates this inspiring experience of nature amidst an era of climate change and unrest. Creating art that reconnects and restores the natural senses and sensibilities that our modern lifestyles have taken from us drives my process. My art and designs, nature awareness research, and sustainability consulting are all about creating soothing inspiration, a sense of calm, and hope for restoring harmony and equality between humans, nature, and the planet we share.
