"My landscape paintings feature strongly delineated shapes, reminiscent of stained glass, and Art Nouveau. They are created in layers, built up like the rings of a tree, often becoming invisible, yet still contributing to the finished painting."

Marc Chagall said “Art picks up where nature leaves off.” My intention is not to copy nature, but rather to be inspired by it, and to express the essence the natural world that means so much to me.
