ART PORTFOLIO
Forest Toad - Watercolour with Inks
|
The focus of my art is the exploration and preservation of local natural history and Biophilia. Over the last three years, I have been venturing up to a 2-hour distance from where I live, seeking out inspiration for my art. I have explored outlying regional parks for their lakes, streams, forests, valleys, and mountains. Within 2 hours, I can be in an alpine meadow among the wildflowers and clouds with a vast array of snow-capped mountains that disappear into the haze of the far-away horizon, or walking along a secluded ocean beach shrouded in morning fog. The region I live in is uniquely positioned close to many diverse ecosystems. The beauty of many of these natural, remote settings is only a short distance away, waiting to be discovered and rendered into art.
I am often asked, "Does your art take a long time to create?”. Yes, it does. I lose track of time when I paint, investing 80 or 120 hours on a single painting, but each piece is the best six to seven days I can spend doing what I love.
