Capture the eye... Engage the mind... and Stir the heart.

What is a memory? That is a question I have been exploring in regard to the natural world. Most people remember a place and time by color, form and smell. The emotional response forms the memory. My work is my memory and feeling about a place and time from years of seeing, sketching and painting the wonders of nature.

Nature has a complex beauty and energy and it weaves a tapestry with threads of form, color and rhythm. My mind’s eye captures the images and with the help of sketches, studies and photos, I use complex layers with color and shape and a unique mark-making language to express nature’s beauty. I strive to find the pulse of the scene and create a visual poem which inspires others to pause and realize we are but one small thread in the Earth’s woven framework.

My life so far...

I was born in London, England and came to the United States as a young child. My father had a love for the outdoors and from an early age he would take me on explorations into the natural world. Trees were not just an object. They were life that was full of flowing shapes and color. These early observations shaped my world and would influence me all these years later.

Through my years as an archaeologist, I spent more hours outside than in. All the time recording the world around me.

As a Visual Creative Director, I continued my love of art and traveled to many parts of the world meeting people and seeking the road less traveled.

When not in the studio, I am usually found on the trails with my 4-footed friends and my sketchbook and paints.

At work

I love to quickly capture the world with my mixed media sketchbook. Quick sketches or paintings to feel the colors, texture, form and rhythm of the scene. These I later translate through a number of techniques to express a composition. I am always seeking to create an immersive viewer experience by capturing the energy and texture that is the essence of the world around us.

I love sharing the world through my eyes and hear how others see the world. I do do consider commissions.
