“My work begins with immersive experiences within the natural world, and the motion of the butterfly is part of my visual language. The creatures are metaphors for transformation and crossing other worlds. When I am fully immersed in nature, using all my senses, I feel a part of some mysterious, beautiful world, grounded, fulfilled, and transformed. The work is an expression of that experience. Plein air drawing, biology, philosophy, and poetry all play an integral part in the creation of my work. As I learn new things, I am changed.”
