Recently I have been drawn to the natural world. As I spend more and more time indoors amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I seem to miss the time I spent outdoors when I was young, just enjoying the beauty and magic in nature. In our world that revolves around technological advances, we fail to notice the grandeur and simple wonders found in nature. How can we notice this quiet, simple beauty when we walk around with phones plastered to our ears while we rush from place to place? My recent paintings focus on the beauty and individuality of the organic forms found in the natural world. Nature is waiting for us to notice her once more; to be nourished by her and to be transported to another place within ourselves - a quiet, peaceful place.
