I have an interest in the environment as it relates to humanity and mythology. My narrative paintings use personifications of the seasons and the weather, (e.g., Persephone, Jack Frost, etc.), as indicators of our cultural ties to nature. Because our contemporary environment is under the siege of climate change, these mythical gods and spirits experience extreme weather conditions along with us. In addition, I endeavor to show nature as a strange and wondrous world that encapsulates light, time, mystery, and flux.
