My mixed media work is built layer upon layer by interlacing my photography with acrylic paint and collage to create one-of-a-kind artworks. The juxtaposition of opposing elements such as painterly and hard edge, organic and geometric, textural and smooth, transparent and opaque creates a visual dance. The resulting effect is energetic, yet tranquil due to the subject matter. The rhythms and patterns of the natural world evoke a sense of calm and serenity.
