medium: encaustic

bio: My current work represents the expressionistic landscape. Born of intimate plein air studies that bear the torch for my larger oil and encaustic paintings. Working in plein air allows me to see the natural world with all senses. To experience nature as the precious gift we were given and have the responsibility to protect.

on the importance of art:

"The making of art serves the individual as a means of expressing in a non-verbal format. It server the community as a way of interacting with each others intimate thoughts and provides a common ground as a venue accessible to all. "
