Layers are the centerpieces of my work. Within those planes, thoughts, reflections, and visual cues are captured in a single moment of crystalline stillness. From the time I could stand, I have rambled through the branches and crunched over pine needles in the Stanislaus National Forrest. The sheer beauty of nature often arrests my steps in awe. Just as the human spirit reveals itself in many ways, the layers in my work reflect the layers in my life. Love. Loss. Beauty. Resilience. Hope. Being.
