Art in Search of the Sublime
Art in Search of the Sublime
Heart of the River
In My Dreams
Between Here & Beyond
“I pursue the sublime by seeking nature's light. My art is complete when it literally breathes. Its purpose is to ask the existential question - “what is the meaning of life” - searching for a deeper understanding of who we are and how we feel and encouraging reflection on what it means to be human.”
