My ​work celebrates light, transparency and the luminous quality of paint.
I strive to create a dynamic balance between the diaphanous simplicity of light and the rich exuberance of color. 
 
My academic study of classical Chinese landscape painting set me on a path to create an art form that incorporated the principles of Asian aesthetics and spirituality blended with Western abstraction.
 
As a garden designer, I am constantly amazed by the continuous play of light in and through plant textures, colors and forms in the garden. This also is a source of ongoing inspiration.
 
I don’t portray light in the garden as a realistic representation as I have never really felt up to recreating that which is already perfect.
My approach is non-referential and abstract, grounded in a more poetic, emotional expression based in Taoist and Buddhist philosophy.
 
I use light as a means of engagement, inviting an exploration of inner depths that radiate and draw one into a quiet luminosity.
The ambient light where paintings are shown can influence the perception of what is seen and not seen.

My titles are reference points for the imagination, serving as an invitation to enter a liminal space where the mind can find rest and rejuvenation.
