'Rainbow over Pine Gathering' Painting

In seeking to capture a sense of peace and simplicity, my work explores and expresses the mystic sense of spirituality found in Nature. The process itself and the practicing of an open, accepting state of mind towards unexpected insights and visual outcomes, very much forms the core of my practice. Employing left-hand drawing and the technique of monotypes (where a one-off print is created) to work with the subject matter, often shapes and characters from Nature, I leave imagination and serendipity to work its wonder. Often this process produces compositions of perfect imperfection, which suits the simplistic expression of authenticity, which is my experience when being with natural elements such as a branch, a stone, bark, lichen on a boulder.
