Peace Be Still Painting

I find inspiration for my work in the world around me particularly in nature, music, film, dreams, and mysticism. Stories often reveals the abstract layers of meaning of the dilemmas we encounter played out in the natural world. In reflecting on stories and observing nature, I see the whole range of human experience manifesting itself. Incompleteness is a human condition. Finding meaning in nature, art, and our lives helps to alleviate this inherent human condition. In my art, I strive to convey a sense of wonder and mystery. I hope the viewer can see themselves and find their own story, meaning, and symbols in the struggles we all encounter but sometimes have trouble articulating.
