I'm captivated by creatures living amongst us that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. There is an archetypal beauty embodied by the albino peacock or the mysterious white elk that forces me to pause and feel the mystery.  These animals seem to exist outside of space and time.  So in my paintings, they live in a world of imaginary abstraction, far away from the dangers of human encroachment.

When I paint, I'm chasing an elusive equilibrium between form and formlessness… convinced that true beauty hangs in the balance. The chase involves dancing with the unknown: allowing an image to unfold rather than plodding along in a linear fashion. My creative process is a continual cycle of creation and destruction, so what ends up on the canvas is as much about what’s been added as what’s been taken away.
