"My work is very clearly alive. Through organic forms and abstracted patterns, I seek to create a visual vocabulary that initiates a dialogue with nature as well as my viewers. Fractal geometry, botanical studies, the garden in all its seasons and the waters of the Caribbean Sea comprise my diverse influences. Each allows me to explore the ever-shifting power of the natural environment, an enigmatic force, which in its absolute perfection perennially surpasses any human attempt to dominate and subdue nature."
