My creations come primarily from observation of the universe around me.  In my compulsion to draw, paint, photograph, and create digital images, lies my desire to understand the underlying patterns we share with all life and with all matter.  I like to portray things as they are, as they might be in reality, and as they can be imagined.  Capturing beauty, light, and fleeting moments is a way for me to translate my thoughts.  Textures, shapes, colours, structures and repetitions on every scale seem important to our ultimate grasp of how and why we came to be here, and where we are going.  I like to let all of these features tell some kind of story which might trigger memory, sentiment, wonder or imagination.
