I began painting from life in 2008 with portraits of a simple subject, such as a flower or a seed pod. A view of nature I enjoy to this day. Each year I grew, adding more leaves, adding more dimension, and even telling a plant's life story. I have even painted a work over four feet tall!
"Each species that I paint is beautiful and a miracle. I am convinced that there is an intelligence here that we have yet to fully understand, a mystery and a joy."
