“Reflections”

I have a love of nature and for all of the organic forms within the natural world. We are surrounded by the shadows these forms cast, and yet we usually don’t even notice them at all. The shadows have become an integral part of the real world and yet are ephemeral. As the leaves cast their shadows on the ground, the shapes become distorted, elongated and often merge together to create entirely new entities. They exist for only the briefest moment, for they are forever changing. I capture the moment and bring these forms to life by tracing them on the canvas. With the addition of color and paint, what emerges is my expressive reflection of organic life.
