I envision people gathering around my art, completely absorbed in the details, discovering something new every time they view it.

Just a short background about my medium of choice, Scratchbords® are non-toxic and archival. X-ACTO knife in hand, I etch into the top layer of ink as my art appears in the white clay. It takes a certain amount of artistic courage to jump into a piece without having any idea where it might lead, but that’s what makes it so much fun.

I discovered Scratchbords® by Ampersand, while undergoing a cancer diagnosis. Immersing myself in natures delicate designs, and translating them into art, brought me peace; which is exactly what I hope it brings the viewer.

I divide my time between three sensibilities that often overlap. The goal is to create art so stunning, that whoever stands before it feels the same sense of wonder and awe that I did making it.

Spontaneous Combustion drawings are inspired by nature and filled with detailed textures and patterns that evolve into complex designs. Every time you look at this collection you find something new.

Eco-Pyschology concentrates on how nature impacts every one of us. To be transported into a world of infinite beauty, surrounded by a calm only made possible by being and active participant in preserving it.

Interaction creates connections through loosely drawn characters that transcend race and ethnicity as they interact across the page. These drawing have been ‘coming out’ of me since I was about five years old. They are a collaboration between my art and those who interact with it.
