The structures and shapes found in nature and the order that exists in apparent chaos influence my work.

The type of patterns I find in nature that inspire me are the honeycombs of bees, facetted crystals, and a raft of bubbles. I see the results of microscopic principles in the development of large forms in all of these. My paintings deal with the relationships between the microcosm and the macrocosm.

I want to establish a kind of presence, rich color, and seductive surface. It is very inspirational to discover the new possibilities in paint, surface and color as a way to explore and value the universe.
