Artist Statement:

Change Does Not Wait examines the emotional remnants that accumulate as a result of the events that define our lives. By focusing on transformations that occur over time, I use tree forms to represent moments of emotional significance. I am compelled to paint landscapes that explore how environmental stresses manipulate growth. A tree’s structure, both shape and development, describe the elements in which it has endured. By emphasizing the natural movement and texture of trees, I draw a parallel between the natural world and human society. The rich surfaces found in these paintings utilize the power of light and color to address the forces that shape all life.
