Nature is at the heart of my artistic practice. My process begins with slowing down and paying attention. I observe birds in flight, reptiles resting in the sun, and the subtle patterns that exist all around us. Through the lens of my camera, I capture these moments as a way of holding onto their energy and presence.

Photography is the starting point for my work. In the studio, I combine these images with printmaking techniques such as photogravure, chine collé, and collage. I am drawn to layering because it mirrors how we experience nature—nothing is flat or simple. Patterns, textures, and lines overlap, creating depth and movement.

My abstract paintings are not meant to describe nature literally, but to express the power of nature as I see and feel it. I am inspired by moments of strength and motion, like a swan rising from the water or an eagle diving for its meal. Color helps carry this energy, influenced by the bold and natural markings found in birds and reptiles.

Art allows me to communicate what I cannot put into words. Through my work, I hope to invite viewers into a shared moment of wonder, connection, and respect for the natural world.
