Artist Statement
Zen Buddhists say words and images are inadequate to describe life and our experience of life, because they do not express the full truth. But words, images and sounds are the tools we are given and therefore we make an attempt to talk about the truth of life as best we can. It is the interaction and merger with nature reflecting the human that attracts me and creates a hybrid view of reality through my images. My paintings are an attempt to reveal the truth of my life. They act as visual journals and reflect my environmental concerns.
