statement

The reductive land and sky-scapes are odes to the beauty of the natural world and reminders of our responsibility to cherish and protect it. The graphite pieces are landscapes of the imagination that embrace the ideas of Romanticism and see the mystery of our existence as, not a problem to be solved, but rather a gift to be treasured.
