Investigating alternate perspectives is a common thread within my work. The aspiration of my “Planet Earth” series is to encapsulate both a macro satellite viewpoint of the earth while simultaneously give the illusion of minerals on a micro level within each painting.

“Although borders separate and define everything from our natural resources to cultural attitudes, there is far more that we share in the world than that which divides us.”
NORAH BORDEN
“As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man…”
JAMES B. IRWIN (APOLLO 15) “The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.”
PABLO PICASSO
