"I believe nature is a celebration of the mystery, promise, and complexity of life. That is what I seek to capture in my work. I am interested in the experience of light and shadow, color and texture, the play between the seen and the unseen, between memory and imagination. As with all things in nature, there is a brief moment that says everything: the rapidly changing quality of light and shade in a forest, reflections moving in water, the hummingbird that suddenly appears, pauses, and then disappears. My paintings are about these ephemeral moments. My love of nature was first formed over many childhood summers spent on Jekyll Island, Georgia, where live Oaks drip Spanish moss, and marsh meets ocean. Later, walks in my family's fourteen acre forest in Tucker, Georgia taught me to appreciate pines and the understory. I work on wood panels and begin by building up layers of acrylic paint, sometimes incorporating acrylic ink, collage elements and photo transfers. I like to combine heavy, thickly applied paint with watery washes that drip randomly. As I add layers, I scratch and scrape through in places to reveal some of the original layers. I continue adding and taking away until I'm satisfied with the surface. At some point in the process, forms emerge and I can see a forest, a bird, a river, a figure. While my process is more intuitive, I am aware of how the images I choose reflect a personal history and become a metaphor for our increasing disconnection from the natural world."
