My work is about the changeable and fluid state of the natural world, a sense of place and the patterns found in natural forms. I work outdoors directly from nature whenever possible as I feel it gives a particular dynamism or energy and focus to the end Result. I am interested in the peculiarities of a particular plant or tree and how it emerges from the earth and the environment it grows in. How particular plants may interact with each other and their environment. The imperfections of how a particular branch or stem may grow as well as the perfection of a flower in bloom or a tree in fruit.  For many of us who live in cities we are divorced from the sense of wonder the natural world can elicit. I believe this is something many of us wish to reconnect with.
