Natural High
Artist Statement
This body of work was inspired by my experiences with the natural world. Whether it was borne out of a quiet walk through a forest, watching the sun go down in the country, arranging a lush bouquet of flowers from my garden or gazing on a beautiful creature from the animal world, these experiences all give me a “natural high”.
Capturing emotions from a place, a time of day, or some fragment of nature is central to my work as is the constant search for light and the idea of taking the viewer to a different, higher place. Thank you for taking the time to view my work!
