I am drawn to both the spiritual and the emotional quality of light filtering through branches and leaves. The transient quality of nature elicits a guttural feeling of melancholic longing. My work attempts to portray these fleeting moments in time – changing weather, light, and time of day. By capturing nature’s ephemerality, I hope to highlight the essential value of nature’s beauty to quality of life.
