ABOUT MY ART: Reverence experienced through nature continually teaches me that I am connected to the earth.  In our current electronic fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget this connection. Combining drawing, mixed media collage, and sculpture is a method of inquiry on this connection. Observing intently during hikes in the Southeast United Staes and paddles in the South Carolina Lowcountry waters often become starting points as I bear witness to the changing natural landscape to human development. Sometimes graphite to paper is all I need to convey these experiences of wonder.  Other times I feel moved to build and construct sculptures as a way of enshrining nature for others to experience.
