My main goal in creating art is to remind people to take a moment to look around them. I am inspired by nature and I try to bring the outside in. I am not attempting to portray an exact representation of the environment that I see, instead I try to capture the essence of a landscape while also stylizing it and making it my own. I like to use colour, pattern and repetition to portray the layers of foliage and vegetation that can be seen in landscapes.
