My work invokes awareness of the complexity and beauty of the world around us, seen and unseen. To achieve this I incorporate lesser-known elements of nature and science into my paintings in addition to my creative interpretation of the unseen, mysterious components of life.
Observable scientific subject matter may include microscopic views of single-cell radiolarians, the facets of a bee’s eye, or anatomy right down to the cellular level and beyond. I believe a deep awareness of nature gives us an appreciation for life. This awareness inspires wonder and allows us to think beyond our immediate reality.
Surreal elements in my work represent the mysteries of life. The unseen, the unknown, creativity, the subconscious, untapped possibilities, and so on. I explore and expose the balance of concrete, observable reality with the mysteries of life.
