Statement
This grouping of work displays my passion for light and color and how it describes the form and atmosphere of the landscape in a nocturne setting. I seek to capture the poetic beauty of lights’ emotive affects as it evolves over time. With deep meditative observation I have become more aware of subtle changes, both natural and man made.
