My work has focused on the range between three-dimensional and intangible environmental space through various painting media. Throughout, there is attention to the ephemeral nature of our world and its constant state of flux.

Concentration has been in painting and drawing media, such as unconventional methods of drawing, collagraph monoprints, high- and low-relief acrylic paintings, experimental techniques using watercolor, and sculptural painting installations, including their intervention into landscape space.

Underpinned by philosophical inquiries and process, my emphasis is on our shared, entangled, and shifting relationship with the decline and renewal of our environment and the associated metaphorical interpretations.

These various painting approaches to landscape reflect the multi-faceted nature of the environment itself and offer an opportunity to experience the landscape through the lens of painting.
