the essence of life

• Artist Statement

  Over the past few years, my interest in plants has grown exponentially and raised my awareness of nature’s beauty, from the painted sunsets to the little details in a Redwood tree’s bark. I had seen this succulent while on a walk in my neighborhood, and loved the way the rain drops clung to the leaves. The hint of pink on the edges contrasts nicely with the deep green, and the variegation adds interest with the stripes of yellow.

• Creative Statement

  I think of creativity as the ideas that come to you and how you express them or make them come to life. Being able to be original and come up with unique pieces is also important to me.
