Weather dominates landscape in the most seductive manner. It is nature at its most abstract--most violent, most serene, most mysterious, most prosaic--and it mirrors the changing emotional landscape within me. My painting practice is to work with watery pigments, I pour sweep, brush, drip, and fling layers of paint like clouds scudding across the sky. I coax pools of paint into translucent veils of color. Anchoring these ephemeral elements are gestural tree limbs, horizontal water marks, stripes and blocks of color.

For the last five years, in my paintings and prints, I have focused on the fluidity of water and the natural gestural action of tree branches alongside abstract brush strokes and poured layers of paint. Within this process I find a meditative place from which to reflect on the concept of time. Each image captures a single moment, while reflecting all moments.
