Statement
My work has developed through observing the constant subtle changes within the Northwest landscape. Changes that metamorphose through growth, bloom and gradual decline. Observation and quick glimpses can reveal unexpected surprises which within moments can visually distort the character of the surrounding landscape. These surprises are often missed or go unnoticed as seasons change, time of day, weather and the chaos of the everyday grinds presses forward.
