My landscape work started as visual journal, a record of the path to which I continuously return. I see the landscape metaphorically, as a reflection of my own psychological and spiritual state of mind. At times my images are pure meditations of serene places that resonate with the tranquility of nature. Yet, often I am drawn down the darkest, most foreboding paths - lured by nature’s mysterious veil.
In the natural world elements intertwine, connect and support each other. Revealing this intimate reality is a vital aspect of my work. In essence, these images revere the spirit and beauty of the earth. There is a powerful magic that exists in nature and that magic is the impetus behind my work.
