NATURE

The natural landscapes and environments I’ve created in my paintings are representative of our earth as we know it, yet more distant than we would care to imagine. My work lives in a silent environment where time stands still, and our focus is shared between symbolism and reality.

I enjoy painting clouds and somehow trying to contain them through man-made devices; caged, tied down with rope, held in with chicken wire. This surrealist concept led me to the idea of combining the ethereal quality of clouds juxtaposed with the clarity of the sharp edge of the post it. The nature series is much closer to surrealism than my other hyperrealistic collections
