As an Artist, I draw on nature to evoke contemplation of the interconnectivity between life, environment and spiritual dimensions.

At the threshold where nature and spiritual converge, we perceive a Presence beyond-human.  Encounters range from faintest ripples of sensation, through to overwhelming manifestation of power.  My body of work makes this visual, and participates in the art-historical dialogue of the Sublime, but from an intimate perspective.  This recognizes the contemporary existential crisis suffered by the individual (Snowball 2011), and the global need for conservation of both nature and nurture (Foundation for Deep Ecology 2012).  The work is relevant to our “post-secular” culture, where religion is regarded as a “province of thought within, rather than a refusal of, intellect” (White 2006,5).

The possibility that my work may serve as “locus theologicus” (Zordan and Knauss 2013,5) – a space where my viewer may experience revelation – compels me.
