I work intuitively to express my appreciation for the sacredness, cycles, and biodiversity of the Earth in my art, projects and workshops. In my exploratory approach the initial concept often changes and evolves. My creative process is guided by spontaneous responses to the subject matter and materials, and in this sense each artwork is a new exploration and adventure.
My work ranges from detailed ink drawings to performative actions and explorations in urban, gallery, and outdoor spaces. I am interested in the nature and spirit of a place just as much as our inter-relationships with these spaces and other organisms. What unifies my work, is my underlying intention of sharing my connection and respect for the sacredness and interconnectivity of life. I am particularly guided and inspired by ecology, biodiversity, natural cycles, and our place as a species within the web of life and the galactic community. My work is also an expression of my quest to learn more about myself and the world, finding new ways of being, deepening my spiritual experience of what we call ‘reality’, and expressing this in ever-expanding ways.
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to. . . . The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
– Vincent Van Gogh
