In our accelerated, fast-paced society, many people are searching for ways to slow down. More and more are moving back from large cities to the countryside or to villages, seeking a closer connection to nature.

My abstract paintings are about silence: singular, wondrous natural phenomena—frozen moments, such as when the setting sun paints the trees at the forest’s edge red, or when only the blue of the sky and the wind still promise spring among the bare branches. Even the robins chirping among the shrubs during a February snowfall are visible only for seconds before they flutter away.

With my abstract and semi-abstract paintings, I create a quiet remembrance of these fragile moments, where a form subtly emerges from textured, layered surfaces.
