Nature
has always been the greatest inspiration for my drawings. The majestic color
combinations and designs found in feathers, flowers, sunsets, clouds, and other
phenomena of the natural world create a treasure trove of possible
compositions. Individual feathers are very intriguing to me. The colors and
patterns on each feather are unique. Flaws, acquired in daily life, add
character. Centers of flowers are often
composed of complex patterns that become focal points of my work. I like to
emphasize the unobtrusive parts in nature.
I
believe that we are stewards of this earth and only temporary visitors and my
work is the diary of my life.
