BiographyHistory

'Art that evokes our connection to the natural world. Not as mere documentation, but rather an investigation into the soul of nature, scratching below the surface to expose its being, that which is not seen. After many years of studying the landscape through contemplation, one comes to observe it's process, something that we tend to miss if we just pass through. 

'I use drawing as a means of phenomenology, or simply, how we experience things in nature, not as panoramic narrative, but as a nexus between the drawn and the natural world.' (From author's site)
